Processing eBird Data with R
This repository contains code sets on processing eBird data with R. It is a work in progress; updates and additional files will be added as I progress.
'Processing eBird data code.R' General code for working with your own eBird data. Includes downloading, cleaning, and visualising checklist data.
'CreateASpeciesList.R' Code for creating a species list for a specific region/hotspot.
'Visualising and Analysing eBird data.R' Code for more advanced work with eBird data. Includes code for visualising data for a specific location to see number of species observed daily over a month and comparing across a number of years.
This folder contains the species lists generated by the code. They are examples and not needed for running the code.
To run the code, please use your own data or data that you have downloaded from eBird. eBird data is available upon login from: https://ebird.org/data/download
I am using eBird data to teach myself data processing and visualisation with R. Therefore, the code is only as robust as my experience. I have indicated where I have adapted code from others and have provided links to these great resources.
