U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Argos GPS Satellite Tracking Data for Lesser Yellowlegs (Tringa flavipes)
This data package contains location data collected by the Argos System (CLS America, Inc.) from satellite transmitters attached to 116 Lesser Yellowlegs captured at multiple sites across their breeding and nonbreeding range in North America, 2018-2021. The raw data were processed to accomplish two goals: 1) flag implausible location and 2) remove locations within Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) and Eielson Air Force Base boundaries. Removal of locations in military land boundaries is required due to federal guidelines by Department of Defense (DoD) Public Affairs office and DoD Partners in Flight. Due to data sharing constraints of participating agencies, not all the locations (i.e., latitude and longitude) have been released. Two Comma Separate Value (CSV) tables are included in this data package: 1) the "lesserYellowlegs_USFWS_argosGPS_deploymentAttributes.csv" table contains one record for each transmitter deployment and 2) the "lesserYellowlegs_USFWS_argosGPS_processedData.csv" table contains one record for every Argos location estimate collected.
