This multi-layer GeoPackage (“VCF_AnalysisStrata”) contains density layers that stratify spectacled eiders into low, medium, and high density classes on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta Coastal Zone over two time periods: 1985-1994 and 1995-2015. The (“SPEI_1985to1994_6strata”) and (“SPEI_1995to2015_6strata”) layers were created using ground-based nest data that was log-transformed, interpotated by ordinary kriging methods, and classified into low (0-1.60 km^2), medium (1.60-3.50 km^2), and high (>3.50 km^2) nest density classes. Different visibility correction factors (VCFs) were calculated for each density strata based on the relationship between the nest and aerial survey data. These correction factors are used to produce population estimates for spectacled eiders that incorporate density-adjusted VCFs.
