  • If you have trouble accessing the file via the URL, you can just download the data file from Github directly, making sure to load the file into R using the hashed out code in Lines6-7.
Then to run, copy the full code (below), OR download the source file from github ,
OR, the easiest way, run this quick code directly:


Full script here.
(Bonus points for those who can guess which species of McArthur's warblers these are meant to be ;) )
