avisQuery(id_species = "", species = "", family = "", order = "",
age = "", sex = "", breeding = "", habitat = "", month = "", year = "",
args = list())

`id_species`	a number setting the id of the species according to proyectoavis.com database. You may get the id of a species with `avisSpeciesId`
`species`	scientific name of the species (one single species): e.g. "Passer domesticus"
`family`	To filter the data by family: e.g. "Passeridae", "Falconidae", etc.
`order`	To filter the data by Order: e.g. "Passeriformes", "Falconiformes", etc.
`age`	To filter the data by age: "pollo", "juvenil", "adulto", "indeterminado".
`sex`	To filter the data by sex: "macho", "hembra", "indeterminado", "pareja", "machos y hembras"
`breeding`	To filter the data by breeding-migratory status: "reproducción posible", "reproducción probable", "reproducción segura", "migración", "invernada"
`habitat`	Filter by habitat: "bosque", "matorral", "pastizales", "terrenos agrícolas", "zonas humanizadas", "zonas húmedas interiores", "roquedos de interior", "costas", "otros"
`month`	Filter by month: 1 to 12
`year`	Filter by year: e.g. 2001
`args`	List of arguments accepted by www.proyectoavis.com endpoint. You may use this list to set the arguments of the function (species, sex, breeding...), or you may also set all the parameters supported by the endpoint, but not normalized for its use in this package. These arguments are: id_ca, id_provincia, dia_ini, mes_ini, ano_ini, dia_fin, mes_fin, ano_fin, usu, plazo, hora_ini, minuto_ini, hora_fin, minuto_fin, codigo_habitat, gr, cf, utm_10, utm_1 (see www.proyectoavis.com)

In case you set a query parameter by its name (eg: avisQuery (species="Bubo bubo")) and also you set it inside the 'args' parameter (eg: avisQuery (species="Bubo bubo", args=list(species="Tyto alba")), the value setted by its name will prevail (in the example, "Bubo bubo" will apply).

a dataframe with the results of your specific query to Proyecto AVIS database.
