byYear	Defaults to TRUE. Indicates if data should be separated by year (TRUE) or combined (FALSE)
byPoint	Defaults to FALSE. Indicates if data should be separated by point (TRUE) or combined (FALSE)
effort	Indicates if effort should be measured by "points" (# of points visited) or "visits" (total # of visits).
wide	Defaults to FALSE. If TRUE and byYear is TRUE then there will be a column for each year and row for each park or point. Otherwise there will be a single Year column to indicate the year.

Details

This produces a summary of the amoutn of effort put into monitoring either measured as the number points visited or the number of visits made to the points. The data on effort is retrieved from the Visits slot of the NCRNbirds object(s). The output can either be in long format - suitable for further use in a map or graph, or in wide format which is easier for viewing. Any argument which is valid for getVisits is also valid for this function.
