Hi all--I have a question for you; please reply to me rather than the whole
list. I have embarked on a project to map (and eventually publish in The Loon)
banding recoveries of all birds banded in Minnesota and recovered out of state
and all birds banded out of state and recovered in Minnesota. The first
surprise is the 300,000 records this encompasses! Make take me awhile. I did
a similar study of South Dakota birds, published in South Dakota Bird Notes and
in two editions of The Birds of South Dakota.
So here is my question. When I make my maps, should I connect the banding and
recovery locations with a line? I did this in the first edition of Birds of
South Dakota. I suffered some criticism for this design because one really
does not know if a bird went in a straight line between the two locations (and
probably actually did not for birds recovered after more than one season). In
the second edition, I just drew dots with no connecting lines. The problem
here is one does not know which banding location corresponds with which
recovery.
Any input would be appreciated.
