ovenbird

The data set contains observations (point counts) of 198 sites of the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute.

<code>count</code>: integer, ovenbird counts per site.

<code>site, year</code>: numeric, site number and year of data collection.

<code>ecosite</code>: factor with 5 levels, ecological categorisation of the sites.

<code>uplow</code>: factor with 2 levels, ecological categorisation of the sites
(same es ecosite but levels are grouped into <code>upland</code> and <code>lowland</code>).

<code>dsucc, dalien, thd</code>: numeric, percentage of successional, alienation and total humab disturbance
based on interpreted 3 x 7 km photoplots centered on each site.

<code>long, lat</code>: numeric, public longitute/latitude coordinates of the sites.
