birdsnwt - Release v.1.0.0

The birds module for tyhe NWT loads an existing glm object for each sp located in https://drive.google.com/open?id=1obSvU4ml8xa8WMQhQprd6heRrN47buvI. The model uses dynamic (vegetation: biomass of tree species) and static layers (Non-veg: WAT = water (1/0), URBAG = urban/agriculture (1/0), lLED25 = lake edge density with 5x5 moving window (continuous), DEV25 = development proportion within 5x5 moving window (continuous), and landform (categorical). North American landcover 2005 (MODIS) is source for all but landform (from AdaptWest land facet datset). Vector ruggedness (already available - https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dgIw70mDpDYrBExA52SkPoS1TFaZdLE9) and road density (that should be available from the Anthropogenic module) will be added to the next version of these models. The birds' prediction is masked to uplands as we do not have data for lowlands.
