Creator(s):: Colorado Parks and Wildlife Biologists, District Wildlife Managers, and Researchers
Description:: WhPelicanNestingArea is an ESRI SDE Feature Class showing Nesting Areas for White Pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhyncos) in Colorado. Nesting Areas are defined as those islands and/or beach areas where any pelican nests are found. Human disturbance should be eliminated from these areas from April 15 to August 15. 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).
