Overview

This BirdFlow model collection contains fitted models of bird movement trained from eBird Status and Trends (S&T) weekly distributions. They can be used with the BirdFlowR R Package to generate synthetic migration routes or to predict where birds at a known location and time are likely to be at another point in time.

eBird S&T code links to eBird information on the species.
Model links to a report on the model.
