    <descript>
      <abstract>This database was established to record furbearer and raptor presence through photographs taken at camera stations. The general study area where camera stations were placed included parts of Madera, Fresno, and Tulare counties. Coordinates for the camera station were recorded with Garmin 12xl or Gramin Rhino GPS receivers. Coordinates written in the shapefile .dbf of this data layer are in NAD27. Output of data in viewer has been converted to NAD83.</abstract>
