Map Notes
Bird Habitat

Substantive

9/26/2007. Inland map for Caswell added, which recently moved out of LURC jurisdiction. Several maps removed that covered the area within Baxter State Park.

9/18/2007. Inland maps corrected to remove some areas (250' from wetland correction).

9/10/2007. All maps were replaced. Although only the inland waterfowl habitat maps were changed as a result of changes to habitat location information, a recent update to the geographic information layer for Maine towns boundaries made several small corrections, which should also be shown on the maps.

7/25/2007. Replaced maps linked to town names. Replaced "shore bird" maps. Replaced "seabird nesting island" maps (legend updated). Added "tidal" and "inland" maps.

6/25/2007. Recent statutory changes broke "shorebird habitat" into "feeding habitat" and "roosting habitat" with buffer areas of differing widths. High and moderate value waterfowl and wading bird habitat, and shorebird habitat maps updated. There were three fewer towns that had shorebird habitat only maps, due to changes in the data from IF&W, and these links were removed: North Haven, Pleasant Point, and Ind. Res. Boothbay Harbor.

3/19/2007. Replaced a waterfowl/wading bird habitat layer in the maps with the correct layer for NRPA (wetlands). Previous layer was for shoreland zoning. This was a minor correction because of the scale of the maps.

10/11/2006. Replaced Eastport and Lubec maps (both general and shorebird). Reason: correction of town line. The original map showed Treat Island as being in Lubec. Treat Island is in Eastport.

Non-substantive

9/26/2007. "All" maps reloaded - corrected font problem.

12/5/2006. Replaced general, shorebird, and seabird nesting island maps in order to correct font problems. The only changes were to the symbols for roads and the north arrow. No changes in the data were made.

10/15/2006. Several people reported font problems that were solved by embedding the map font into the PDF, making it slightly larger, but resolving the font correctly. All maps were then reloaded on server (same file names).

10/3/2006. Date included. The maps first made available on the web and in hardcopy were not dated. These maps were on the web for approximately one day, and were then replaced with maps that were exactly the same, except that they included a date of 10/3/2006 in the lower right-hand corner.
