typo in observer initials

On 2024-03-20 while writing a metadata data dictionary record for the bird observation, I discovered observer initials RMD and RDM. RMD is R. MacDonald but there is no record of an observer name flying the ACP that could correspond to RDM (see excel file "2007-Present ACP Crew and Dates Table_Wilson.xlsx" or ACP report). Most likely a typo.

This effects the statistical estimation of observer effects and thus, temporal trends and density estimates. Will need to change and update QC process in ACPmapping.R and re-run model and maps.
