Hi Cara,

Here are the two layers.  All_pd.shp has the ranges of all 5 species, and is in the following projection:

Bff_focal.shp represents the general black-footed ferret focal areas that Jonathan has drawn.  It's in the following projection:

I also wanted to let you know that I've rummaged through the prairie dog occurrence data I gave you to post on PRAIRIEMAP and made a few changes and additions.  Are you interested in this data?
