Incidental records are not handled like other records in auk_distance()

[FittySix]

Hi there, I am currently filtering eBird data using the 'auk' package, and it seems as though Incidental records and the effort distance filter do not interact well. I am trying to gather Stationary, Traveling, or Incidental records with null distance (i.e., no value) OR 0-2km effort distance. Here is a portion of the code with pipes:

#restrict to the standard traveling and stationary count protocols auk_protocol(protocol = c("Stationary", "Traveling", "Incidental")) %>% #only keep checklists that are <= 2km long auk_distance(distance = c(0, 2))

The Incidental values with null distance do not return. (Stationary values with null distance do return, but they also have effort times associated. I wonder if this ties into what I am seeing?) Is there a way to specify all of the conditions above in the same pipeline? If necessary, I can always add in the Incidental values manually after filtering, but I thought I would ask! Thank you!

Unfortunately, I don't think these more complicated filters are possible with AWK, so you likely need to filter the EBD twice then combine the results.
