Tracking Data for Blue-winged Teal (Anas discors)

September 17, 2019

This data release includes 2 child items with tracking data for Blue-winged Teal, a duck species that breeds throughout much of North America and whose wintering range includes neotropical areas of the Caribbean and Central and South America, thus providing a migratory link between the continents of North and South America.

Child Item 1: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Blue-winged Teal (Anas discors) - Processed Data" -- Quality-controlled data collected from Argos satellite transmitters.

Child Item 2: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Blue-winged Teal (Anas discors) - Raw Data" -- All raw data collected from Argos satellite transmitters, provided for completeness of the archive. The quality-controlled, "Argos Processed Data" (Child Item 1) are better suited for most analytical purposes.
