Dataset: North American Bat Monitoring Program (NABat): Stationary Point Acoustic Monitoring Survey Dataset for National Wildlife Refuges, 2016 - 2022

Description

This dataset is a backup of the data stored on NABat.org, for NABat stationary acoustic monitoring on national wildlife refuges in the Pacific Region for years 2016-2022. It was directly downloaded from NABat to update FWSpecies lists on refuges. Significant post-processing was required in order to verify data and locations, and correct errors. This post-processing resulted in an enhanced dataset specific for region 1 refuges.

R1_NABat_VettedObservations_NWRS2022.csv CSV 2022 Spreadsheet with only the vetted/confirmed observations (calls). Processed dataset of all the data in NABat up through 2022 (June) for region 1 refuges. Corrections, crosswalks have been applied in post-processing to make the dataset originally downloaded from NABat more usable for region 1 refuges. This spreadsheet is the result of post-processing and was used to update FWSpecies in 2022. Open resource
