After your hard work helping your colleague prepare for the 2018 field season by rearranging their data, you receive a revised dataset for 2016. Your colleague has asked that you make sure you can read in this format and work with it in R before tackling the rearrangement of the 2017 data.
Download the cleaned 2016 WMA bird dataset and save it to the /data directory in your working directory.
Read in the dataset using read.csv(), and assign it to a named object.
Using the str() function, examine the structure of the
imported dataset. Do the field types appear to be correct?
type the name of the object at the console and hit enter. Is what is provided useful?
examine the first few rows of data using the head() function.
Create a new object from only the first 100 rows of data. Export
this new object to a file called wma-bird-data-2016-first100.csv.
