abundanceR is now being actively tested by users in three different monitoring programs:

There will be two online workshops demonstrating landbird monitoring tools on April 14 and April 19. At 1pm for each of those workshops, there will be an in depth demonstration and training on abundanceR. More information on the workshops is attached.  

Although abundanceR is designed to automatically work with data files from the USGS Bird Point Count Database, we wanted to allow managers of other large databases to use the program as well. So, if you manage a large database or data center and are interested in creating an export file for abundanceR, there are detailed intructions here: http://docs.google.com/present/view?id=dtz4vk2_44g7tbbsfm

We're now looking for people to test both AbundanceR and Data Explorer. Both programs are in the beta phase and we are looking for feedback before a more general release. If you don't have data in the USGS Point Count Database but would like to try the tools, please contact us and we will provide you with an example dataset.
