4 months ago Handled! Patsy Bailey is already the primary observer for Chatham 1, and with the other observer metrics (ie max_observer_quality) she's the observer selected for the dates when both are listed. Marsha is never listed as the only observer for one of these routes.
Importing the transcription data (which does list Marsha as the only observer) will be the only place this could potentially cause issues. The fix for that is importing the species counts and stops, but ensuring that the descriptive data for each route comes from the pre-existing information (which is, as above, already correct) I'll make a note for that and otherwise, this issue can be closed.
Marsha Stephens primary observer should be switched for Patsy Baily on Chatham 1, 2000-2011.
"Note the comment on observers for these routes—maybe we switch out "Marsha Stephens" for "Patsy Bailey" (or "Patricia Bailey", whichever you've been using) as the primary observer for all of these." (these being new files broken down by stop from Patsy Bailey's email)
"I was personally involved in all the years for which I am sending you data, even though I did not list myself as an observer (usually I listed only Marsha Stephens and then fairly early on she quit participating). Here are the data from 2000-2011." - Patsy Bailey
