Examples

if (FALSE) {
# download example data
path <- ebirdst_download("example_data")
# or get the path if you already have the data downloaded
path <- get_species_path("example_data")

# weekly relative abundance
# note that only low resolution (lr) data are available for the example data
abd <- load_raster(path, "abundance", resolution = "lr")

# parse dates
parse_raster_dates(abd)
