Hi all--I have a question for you; please reply to me rather than the whole list. I have embarked on a project to map (and eventually publish in The Loon) banding recoveries of all birds banded in Minnesota and recovered out of state and all birds banded out of state and recovered in Minnesota. The first surprise is the 300,000 records this encompasses! Make take me awhile. I did a similar study of South Dakota birds, published in South Dakota Bird Notes and in two editions of The Birds of South Dakota.
So here is my question. When I make my maps, should I connect the banding and recovery locations with a line? I did this in the first edition of Birds of South Dakota. I suffered some criticism for this design because one really does not know if a bird went in a straight line between the two locations (and probably actually did not for birds recovered after more than one season). In the second edition, I just drew dots with no connecting lines. The problem here is one does not know which banding location corresponds with which recovery.
Any input would be appreciated.
