    <descript>
      <abstract>This layer was created from regional biologist input on paper maps. All paper maps were collected and sent to a single Research Analyst to digitize. Some liberties were taken during the digitizing process to merge range boundaries from adjacent counties in order to smooth the transition from one biologist's input to the next.</abstract>
      <purpose>To delineate chukar range within California in an attempt to direct hunters towards chukar hunting opportunities. The areas depicted within this layer represent known populations and/or likely habitat based upon regional biologist's knowledge of the areas.</purpose>
