You should not combine vw_air_all_observations with vw_air_bird_observations, vw_air_marine_mammal_observations, or vw_air_sea_turtle_observations as they are subset data views and will create duplicate observations. Also, combining vw_air_bird_observations, vw_air_marine_mammal_observations, and vw_air_sea_turtle_observations together will not return the same results of vw_air_all_observations as excluding certain species groups.
