“Recovery rate index = recovery rate x 10,000; these indices reflect the relative frequencies at which individual doves will be taken in given recovery 
p locations. Example: Individual doves from MT, WY, CO, or NM are much less likely to be recovered in TX than individual doves from other CMU States. 
Includes doves of unknown recovery location in TX.
