Description:
BFTBatOverallRange is an ESRI SDE Feature Class showing overall range for Brazilian Free-tailed Bat (Tadarida brasiliensis) in Colorado. Overall Range is defined as the area that encompasses all known activity areas within the observed range of a population of Brazilian Free-tailed Bats. This information was derived from field personnel. A variety of data capture techniques were used including drawing on mylar overlays at 1:50,000 scale USGS county mapsheets and implementation of the SmartBoard Interactive Whiteboard using stand-up, real-time digitizing at various scales (Cowardin, M., M. Flenner. March 2003. Maximizing Mapping Resources. GeoWorld 16(3):32-35). These data are updated as needed and last updated in 2011.
