Abstract
Full Abstract:
The segment survey effort and location for 2000 to 2023 from the Waterfowl Breeding Population and Habitat Survey. There are no estimates for 2020-21. If a segment was not flown, it is absent from the table for the corresponding year.

Geographic Description:
Within the United States of America and Canada. The Waterfowl Breeding Population and Habitat Survey is composed of two distinct survey areas: first, the traditional area, which has been surveyed in its current design since 1974 and extends from coastal Alaska through the boreal forest to western Ontario, and through the parklands and prairies south to South Dakota; second, the eastern area, which has been surveyed since 1990 and covers portions of Ontario, Quebec, Labrador, Newfoundland, the Canadian Maritimes, and Maine.

Frequency: annually
Supplemental Information:
The field area_surveyed_sqmi is calculated to account for possible missed sections of the segment by one or both observers. When the segment location is unknown, midpoint_latitude and midpoint_longitude attributes are coded as NULL; this occurs when there was no airplane track data recorded for the segment. In this case, version is 0 because unknown. To best estimate the area_surveyed_sqmi in these cases, it is calculated by taking the average area_surveyed_sqmi of the year before and after the unknown year. If the segment was no longer flown after the unknown year, then the area_surveyed_sqmi from the year before is used.

Value is Case Sensitive: false
Attribute: stratum
Name: stratum
Code: stratum
Definition:
Numeric code indicating the survey stratum. Strata are polygons defined by topographic, political, or other boundaries. Multiple survey transects are located in each stratum and population estimates and other summaries are calculated by stratum.
Datatype: tinyint
Allow NULL Values: false
Attribute Values Must Be Unique: true
Value is Case Sensitive: false
Attribute: transect
Name: transect
Code: transect
Definition:
Numeric code indicating the survey transect. Transects are survey sample units within strata. Transect numbering is not consistent among strata due to historical survey modifications.
Datatype: integer
Allow NULL Values: false
Attribute Values Must Be Unique: true
Value is Case Sensitive: false
Attribute: segment
Name: segment
Code: segment
Definition:
Numeric code indicating the survey segment. Transects are made up of shorter sections called segments. Most segments are approximately 18 miles long (16 miles in Alaskan strata).
Datatype: integer
Allow NULL Values: false
Attribute Values Must Be Unique: true
Value is Case Sensitive: false
Attribute: version
Name: version
Code: version
Definition:
The assigned segment version. Segments receive new version numbers when the surveyed track shifts location by more than ~1 mile. Version 0 is used when no survey track exists, so that the version is unknown.
Datatype: tinyint
Allow NULL Values: false
Attribute Values Must Be Unique: true
Value is Case Sensitive: false
Attribute: midpoint_latitude
Name: midpoint_latitude
Code: midpoint_latitude

Attribute Values Must Be Unique: true
Value is Case Sensitive: false
Attribute: midpoint_longitude
Name: midpoint_longitude
Code: midpoint_longitude
Definition:
The longitude in decimal degrees (negative value west of the prime meridian) of the midpoint of the segment version. NULL is used when the midpoint longitude is unknown.
Datatype: decimal
Allow NULL Values: true
Attribute Values Must Be Unique: true
Value is Case Sensitive: false
Attribute: area_surveyed_sqmi
Name: area_surveyed_sqmi
Code: area_surveyed_sqmi
