Filename: ItascaFieldStationBirdCensus1940-2010 Description: Compilation of types of bird species included in bird censuses conducted by students and faculty and staff researchers at the University of Minnesota Itasca Biological Station and Laboratories 1940-2010 with links to the related reports. Dataset is organized by common names of bird species (as they were listed in the papers) and additional information about scientific family names was added. Some bird species names included parentheses; this is because the currently used common name was added to the dataset rather than the one that was noted in the paper. In these cases, the currently used common name was used first and the one from the paper was placed in parentheses, e.g. Common Yellow-throat (Northern Yellow-throat).

Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: Titles of research reports conducted at the Itasca Biological Station and Laboratories (1000+ researcher documents, nearly 3000 student papers) were examined to identify those that might include bird species. Names of species used in the papers were the ones recorded in the spreadsheet in columns A and B. Additional information about current scientific family names was added in columns C and D. Cornell Lab of Ornithology Birds of the World was consulted to add current common names and scientific family names in 2020-2021. Description of spreadsheet columns: * Column A - Scientific name: Genus and species name, if it is included in the associated paper/document. * Column B - Common name: Common name, if it is listed in the associated paper/document. If it is different from the more commonly used name, this is indicated by placing the more commonly used name first and putting the one from the paper in parentheses, e.g. Common Yellow-throat (Northern Yellow-throat) * Column C - Scientific family name: Scientific name of bird family from Cornell Lab of Ornithology Birds of the World. * Column D - Common name of family: Common bird family name from Cornell Lab of Ornithology Birds of the World. * Column E - Year: Year of publication of associated paper/document. * Column F - Type of paper: Student or Researcher. The nearly 3000 student papers were submitted to the library located at the Itasca Biological Station and Laboratories in conjunction with Itasca-based field classes. These papers are available online on-site via computer terminals at Itasca Biological Station and Laboratories and the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus, online to University of Minnesota affiliates via VPN, via interlibrary loan, or via contacting Itasca Biological Station and Laboratories staff. * Researchers papers include journal articles, theses & dissertations, government documents, and reports found on the list of about 1000 papers. * Column G - Citation: Full citation of associated paper/document. * Column H - DOI / link to full text if available (Researcher) or to student paper: Hyperlink to either student paper on University of Minnesota server or external journal website, if available. Some papers may not have online full-text access. 2. People involved with data collection: The compiled dataset illustrated here was developed by Librarians Shannon Farrell and Julie Kelly. Students Anna Flucke and Chris Crosby assisted with data collection and compilation. Original bird censuses were completed by either the students or researchers listed in the associated papers and documents.
