California Department of Fis hand Wildlife - Region 4 20190207 vector digital data https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Data/BIOS ftp://ftp.wildlife.ca.gov/BDB/GIS/BIOS/Public_Datasets/2800_2899/ds2813.zip The dataset was created to document short-eared owl observations which occurred during the kit fox spotlighting routes. Short-eared owl observation locations on the Carrizo Plains between 2007 and 2017. Data was largely gathered during quarterly San Joaquin kit fox spotlighting surveys but also includes a few incidental observations. Spotlight survey routes crossed approximately 80 miles of the Carrizo Plains along Soda Lake and Elkhorn Roads. Routes were run by Bob Stafford and one other observer and both sides of the road were spotlighted simultaneously. All locations were taken from a handheld GPS at road locations and owls were within 200 m of the road. All records are in decimal degrees and a NAD83 projection. Each observation on a particular date is representative of a different owl and observations were not recorded if an owl species could not be positively identified 20070101 20171001 Unknown Planned Irregular -119.958481 -119.503749 35.253576 35.042505 None short-eared owl, Carrizo Plain, spotlight surveys ISO 19115 Topic Categories biota environment None Carrizo Plains, California None None California Department of Fish and Wildlife Robert Stafford 8055424666 bob.stafford@wildlife.ca.gov California Department of Fish and Wildlife Robert Stafford 8055424666 bob.stafford@wildlife.ca.gov California Department of Fish and Wildlife Craig Fiehler craig.fiehler@wildlife.ca.gov Version 6.2 (Build 9200) ; Esri ArcGIS 10.5.1.7333 Vector Entity point 46 NAD 1983 California Teale Albers 34.0 40.5 -120.0 0.0 0.0 -4000000.0 coordinate pair 0.0001 0.0001 meter D North American 1983 GRS 1980 6378137.0 298.257222101 ds2813 OBJECTID Internal feature number.
