Update the Project FeederWatch Species Translation Table

This function downloads the latest species translation table from the Project FeederWatch website and saves it to a local directory. If a previous version exists in the local directory, the user will be asked for confirmation before overwriting it. This ensures taxonomy can readily be kept up to date annually, since it will only be manually updated on the PFW website otherwise.

Usage

update_taxonomy(user_dir = tools::R_user_dir("PFW", "data"))

Arguments

user_dir

Optional. A custom directory to write the translation table to. Using the default local directory is highly recommended.

Value

A message confirming whether the update was successful.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # interactive()
# Prompt a species translation table taxonomy update
update_taxonomy()
}
