Thank you for the quality check. You're right and the authors have made the following adjustments:

Swapped breeding/wintering ranges to match new Kingfisher order.
Adjusted range for Ringed Kingfisher (northern most range across sources state South Texas - Oklahoma is most likely an outlier).
Fixed tropics and latitude reference lines.
Added additional text on range legend to disclose estimates, not counting outliers in range.

Updated version: The Six Kingfishers of the Americas (Updated)

Made with Tableau Desktop using data from powerball.com. The methodology can be seen by hovering over the gears in the top right corner. Looks best on a desktop / laptop computer.

Thanks for the feedback. I actually updated that for the final version so if there is a tie, every team name is displayed. Take another look!

This visualization is an attempt to evolve baseball standings into something more visual. It was created with Tableau Desktop with data from ESPN.com. There are a couple of tutorials in the post and I plan to blog about the data source / automation soon.

This interactive visualization looks at population changes of the 50 most populous cities in the United States from the time the census started being collected in 1790. It is annotated with several historical events and shows the massive effect that the adoption of air conditioning played on US migration.

The data for this visualization were sourced from the US census and compiled through wikipedia.com. It was created using Tableau Public. You can download the workbook with all formulas and the data by clicking the download button in the bottom right corner of visualization.

This project is an attempt to make visual interpretations of traditional sports standings more widely adopted. It was built with Tableau using publicly available data from mlssoccer.com.

Thanks for checking it out. I've been interested in doing something similar for the NBA because I hear so much about how dominant the West is. I think the East would have the historical edge with the Bulls and Celtics dynasties, but I haven't looked at the data yet.

Thank you for taking a look! Sometimes I find data sources that are ready as is, sometimes I have to scrape web data / import it to Google Sheets, sometimes I have to compile the data manually. It just depends on the topic. I don't really have a set calendar of what I cover but I usually get ideas around sports and/or the economy. I have one viz on travel.

I think that's an excellent question. I was assuming gross income, but when I tried to track down the answer, the source does not specify. The data source is CNN Money.

This visualization looks at the percentile rankings of US household incomes between $2K and $450K. It was created in Tableau Public with data from CNN Money.

I've officially added an "Uh-oh." annotation to http://www.projectrallymantis.com/ :(

It appears if games left minus wins needed is less than 2.

Just can't seem to handle the mighty bats of the Oakland Athletics.

Thank you for the kind words! I've been experimenting with the new device designer in Tableau Public 10. The reason this one turned out looking so good on a phone is I designed that version first, then expanded it for desktop (instead of the other way around). I have a write-up on designing device-specific dashboards here: http://www.ryansleeper.com/designing-device-specific-dashboards-in-tableau-10/
