Author Observation Code	UPDE.12.2005
Original Data Location	This observation was uploaded from NatureServe's Ecological Observations Database (EcoObs), version 3 June 2016. Some data values may be midpoints of EcoObs classes (e.g. stratum height, slope, aspect).
Location Fields:	MAP: Google | Yahoo | TopoZone | MapQuest
Confidentiality Status	10 km radius (nearest 0.1 degree)
Latitude	41.5 º
Longitude	-75 º
State or Province	New York
