    Description: The data presented here represents a major product of this collaboration—a digital map library of the distributions of the birds of the Western Hemisphere, covering 4,247 species. The maps are annotated to indicate sources, migratory status, historic versus current ranges, origin (native or introduced) and taxonomic decisions. The migratory status indications are particularly detailed, distinguishing where birds are permanent residents, breeding residents, non-breeding residents, or passage migrants. These maps are presented as a free resource for conservationists, researchers, and the general public.
