Bring BBS species table more in line with the eBird Taxonomy #27

Closed ethanwhite closed 7 years ago

ethanwhite commented 12 years ago

To facilitate better interaction with eBird data and the Hurlbert lab Taxonomy table, make the BBS species table more similar to this existing structure by:

  1. Add Order and Family fields.
  2. Change id_to_species to a Category field the indicates whether the record is identified only to genus ('spuh'), to species ('species'), subspecies ('issf'), is only identified to a group of species ('slash'), or is a hybrid ('hybrid').

The bird table is also out of date at this point, as it's several years old. I'm looking into this now.

I just used the retriever to get a fresh copy of the BBS data, and the species table is completely blank. The ability to select by order and family look really great, though.

Thanks Elita. This should be filed as a separate bug. Would you mind posting one for us.

Closing as this clearly isn't high on the priority list :smile:.
