-This is a repo for the Zipkin lab project for RQM course. End result: integrated population model (IPM) for American woodcock
+This is a repository for an American woodcock integrated population model. It is a work in progress by members of the Zipkin Lab for the  Reproducible Quantitative Methods course.

+**| What |**
+
+*Description:* This project uses existing banding, band recovery, harvest, and survey data (1963-2012) 
+to develop an integrated population model for Eastern and Central Region woodcock populations. 
+The synthesis and modeling of this data will help identify limiting components of the woodcock 
+population cycle by identifying time periods and locations where population growth is most limited.
+
+*Title:* Timberdoodle IPM (Integrated Population Model)
+
+*Permanent Identifier (e.g. DOI):* Work still in progress, permanent identified is to be determined.
+
+*Data Source:* Harvest data and singing ground survey data from public sites (include here). Banding data 
+obtained at request from Bird Banding Lab.
+
+This project utilizes 3 datasets:  
+
+1) Banding-Recovery Data  
+  Description: Bird banding is a universal technique for studying the movement, survival and behavior of birds. Recovery data is also useful for estimating survival rates of both young and adult birds.  
+  Contact: USGS Bird Banding Lab  
+  Website: https://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbl/
+
+2) Hunter Harvest Data  
+  Description: The U.S. Harvest Information Program (HIP) measures hunter effort and number of woodcocks harvested by hunters annually (1963-Present).  
+  Contact: USFWS Migratory Bird Data Center  
+  Website: https://migbirdapps.fws.gov/
+
+3) Singing Ground Survey  
+  Description: Survey of numerous routes throughout the range of woodcocks to survey singing males during the spring.     	
+  Contact: USFWS Migratory Bird Data Center  
+  Website: https://migbirdapps.fws.gov/
