BlackBearFallConcentration [BBFCA] is an ESRI SDE Feature Class showing fall concentration areas for Black Bear (Ursus americanus) in Colorado. Fall Concentration Areas are defined as those parts of the overall range that are occupied from August 15 until September 30 for the purpose of ingesting large quantities of mast and berries to establish fat reserves for the winter hibernation period. <\/SPAN><\/P> BlackBearHumanConflict [BBHCA] is an ESRI SDE Feature Class showing human/bear conflict areas for Black Bear (Ursus americanus) in Colorado. Human/bear Conflict Areas are defined as that portion of the overall range where two or more confirmed black bear complaints per season were received which resulted in Colorado Division of Wildlife investigation, damage to persons or property (cabins, tents, vehicles, etc.), and/or the removal of the problem bear(s). This does not include damage caused by bears to livestock. <\/SPAN><\/P> BlackBearOverallRange [BBOV] is an ESRI SDE Feature Class showing the overall range for Black Bear (Ursus americanus) in Colorado. Overall Range is defined as the area which encompasses all known seasonal activities within the observed range of a population of black bears. <\/SPAN><\/P> BlackBearSummerConcentration [BBSCA] is an ESRI SDE Feature Class showing summer concentration areas for Black Bear (Ursus americanus) in Colorado. Summer Concentration Areas are defined as those parts of the overall range where activity is greater than the surrounding overall range during that period from June 15 to August 15. <\/SPAN><\/P> This information was derived from field personnel. A variety of data capture techniques were used including drawing on mylar overlays at 1:50,000 scale USGS county mapsheets and implementation of the SmartBoard Interactive Whiteboard using stand-up, real-time digitizing at various scales (Cowardin, M., M. Flenner. March 2003. Maximizing Mapping Resources. GeoWorld 16(3):32-35).<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>",

Care should be taken in interpreting these data. Written documents may accompany this map and should be referenced. The information portrayed on these maps should not replace field studies necessary for more localized planning efforts. The data are gathered at a variety of scales; discrepancies may become apparent at larger scales. The areas portrayed here are graphic representations of phenomena that are difficult to reduce to two dimensions. Animal distributions are fluid; animal populations and their habitats are dynamic.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>",
