The following table shows status (for Macro's) given by Turner vs. computer generated status now.  Status now is based on data from the past 25 years and is aggregated into 4 abundance classes (common, frequent, occasional and rare) and 4 distribution classes (widespread, generally distributed, local and very local).  Migrant and vagrant species are also indicated.
