USERS BULLETIN BOARD
BirdArea range data errors Several errors have been discovered in the BirdArea range data file RANGES.LST shipped from December 1, 2008 to February 5, 2009. If you think your copy could have been shipped during this period, but are not sure, follow instructions in the next two paragraphs. Your situation will be dealt with when you get to the last sentence of the second paragraph.. The EditData utility makes it easy to correct these errors -- easier than downloading and installing a new RANGES.LST file. Run the utility by double-clicking the EditData desktop icon. (If you have not installed its desktop icon click Start. Click Computer, My Computer or Windows Explorer depending on what version of Windows you have. Navigate to the BirdArea folder, which is usually named BIRDS. Then double-click the icon labeled EDWIN.) At the EditData main menu click Edit. Click Com.Find. Type the species common name. Click OK. Click Use. Scroll to the middle or last third of the range data panel. Click the box labeled by the appropriate two-letter code to add it to the range. Click Save. Make the next correction. When finished click Quit. These are the corrections to be made. Mascarene Shearwater: add ZI. White-throated Mountain-gem: add PA. Gorgeted Puffleg: add CO. Antioquia Brush-Finch: add CO. Olive Oropendola: add BO, BR, CO, EC, PE and VE. If you find that the Mascarene Shearwater range already contains ZI your copy of the range data file was shipped after February 5, 2009 and there is no need to do anything more. After making all the corrections, people using BirdArea with BirdBase do not need to run Match BirdBase but should restart BirdArea. Those using BirdArea with AviSys should copy the new RANGES.LST file to the AviSys dataset folder and then run its Certify utility. FUTURE DATA UPDATE SCHEDULE FOR BIRDBASE, BIRDAREA AND EDITDATA Henceforth we will issue species and subspecies data updates for BirdBase, and species/ranges data updates for BirdArea and EditData, soon after Cornell issues its species names and taxonomy updates in October of each year.
