“Recovery rate index = recovery rate x 10,000; these indices reflect the relative frequencies at which individual doves will be taken in given 
, recovery locations. Example: An adult dove from SD, NE, or IA is about 10 times as likely to be recovered in TX than an adult from MT. 
"Includes doves of unknown recovery location in TX.
