Point Blue Conservation Science 20141125 vector digital data http://bios.dfg.ca.gov ftp://ftp.dfg.ca.gov/BDB/GIS/BIOS/Public_Datasets/1100_1199/ds1122.zip In 2012-13, Point Blue Conservation Science was contracted by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to conduct surveys for the Western Yellow-billed Cuckoo along the Sacramento and Feather rivers. This shapefile represents the patches of habitat within 2km of the Sacramento and Feather Rivers that could potentially be used by Yellow-billed Cuckoos. It was developed using a habitat layer from the Central Valley Riparian Mapping Project (medium-scale layer, 2009 imagery; Geographical Information Center 2012). We chose to include the habitat categories “Riparian Evergreen and Decidious Woodland” and “Southwestern North America riparian wash/scrub.” We ran this layer through the program PatchMorph (Girvetz and Greco 2007) with parameters: minimum patch width=100m, maximum gap width=100m. A minimum patch size of 15ha was applied in ArcGIS. The results of the surveys are detailed in a report submitted to the CADFW. - https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=90522 The shapefile was created to estimate the total potential Yellow-billed Cuckoo habitat along the Feather River from Gridley to Nicolaus. It was also used to choose survey sites for the 2012-13 surveys. 20120615 20120820 Beginning and End date Complete None planned -122.220521 -121.554516 40.181277 38.871132 None Western Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Coccyzus americanus, potential habitat, distribution, None California, Sacramento Valley, Sacramento River, Feather River None None Point Blue Conservation Science Mark Dettling 707-781-2555 mdettling@pointblue.org Mark Dettling Point Blue Conservation Science Microsoft Windows 7 Version 6.1 (Build 7601) Service Pack 1; Esri ArcGIS 10.3.1.4959 Vector GT-polygon composed of chains 400 NAD 1983 California Teale Albers 34.0 40.5 -120.0 0.0 0.0 -4000000.0 coordinate pair 0.000000003754707655900803 0.000000003754707655900803 meter D North American 1983 GRS 1980 6378137.0 298.257222101 ds1122 FID Internal feature number.
