Occurrence Codes (OCC):
P = Permanent resident. Present year-round, but may

effort.
C = Common. Easily found, though perhaps not in high numbers.

in yearly population numbers. In contrast to the status "Occasional", this
pattern of occurrence is part of the species natural distribution patterns.
L = Low elevation occurrence
