load_map

<code>load_map</code> allows you to load a simple features object (<code>sf</code> package)
 that represents a map of the strata that can be easily plotted.

The North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) is a long-running
program that seeks to monitor the status and trends of the breeding birds in
North America. Since its start in 1966, the BBS has accumulated over 50 years
of data for over 500 species of North American Birds. Given the temporal and
spatial structure of the data, hierarchical Bayesian models are used to assess
the status and trends of these 500+ species of birds. 'bbsBayes' allows you to perform
hierarchical Bayesian analysis of BBS data. You can run a full
model analysis for one or more species that you choose, or you can take
more control and specify how the data should be stratified, prepared
for 'JAGS', or modelled. The functions provided here allow you to replicate
analyses performed by the United State Geological Survey (USGS, see Link
and Sauer (2011) <doi:10.1525/auk.2010.09220>) and Canadian Wildlife Service
(CWS, see Smith and Edwards (2020) <doi:10.1101/2020.03.26.010215>).
