A visit to Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge changes with each season! During the summer, thousands of water birds roost on the coastal islands. On summer nights loggerhead sea turtles drag themselves onto refuge beaches to nest. Mangrove cuckoos and black-whiskered vireos can be heard calling from the mangroves as they mark their home territory on the refuge in a flurry of spring activity. Manatees feed within the estuary and find shelter from the cold winter months at nearby Port-of-the-Islands. Wintering waterfowl forage in the drying northern marshes as bald eagles soar over the open water searching for a meal.
The refuge is part of the largest expanse of mangrove forest in North America. Approximately two thirds of the refuge is mangrove forest, which dominates most tidal fringes and the numerous islands, or keys. The northern third of the refuge consists of brackish marsh and interspersed ponds, small coastal hammocks of oak, cabbage palms, and tropical hardwoods such as gumbo limbo.
The rich estuarine, mangrove, and marsh habitats of Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge attract hundreds of species of wildlife. The abundance and diversity of wildlife on Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge is directly related to the health and diversity of the habitats on the refuge.

Governor's Island was named for island summer resident Thomas G. Alvord, Lieutenant Governor of New York State in 1864. James and Lorraine Lewis donated the island to SUNY ESF in 1971. The Lorraine E. Lewis Thousand Islands Biological Station (TIBS) was created in 2000 and received its first Director in 2001. Through the faculty of Environmental and Forest Biology, an important aquatic research program was developed beginning with the St. Lawrence Seaway Winter Navigation Studies in the 1970s. Research has continued through fisheries management studies with the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) from 1983 to present and now with additional grants from the US Fish and Wildlife Service Fish Enhancement Mitigation and Research Fund. Recent laboratory and boathouse renovations were completed in the summer of 2012 through a National Science Foundation grant and provide cyber infrastructure improvements linking TIBS to the Center for Integrated Teaching and Research (CIRTAS) at the ESF main campus.
The upper St. Lawrence River consists of a complex array of habitats including over 1,800 islands, 2,000 shoals, and thousands of hectares of nearshore freshwater littoral habitats and coastal emergent wetlands. The St. Lawrence River is the only natural outlet to the Great Lakes, with a drainage basin of over 3/4 of a million square kilometers. It connects the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. It is the 10th largest river in the world in terms of flow with upper River average discharge of over 243,000 cfs!
Thousand and thousands are also often used to exaggerate the number or amount of something, as in I heard about a thousand excuses from my students today or I have thousands of things I need to get done.

Large epidemiologic analyses of cardiovascular injuries have been limited to studies of military campaigns compiled from many surgeons working in many hospitals with variable protocols. A detailed civilian vascular trauma registry provides a unique opportunity for an epidemiologic evolutionary profile. During the last 30 years in a single civilian trauma center directed by a consistent evaluation and treatment philosophy, 4459 patients were treated for 5760 cardiovascular injuries. Eighty-six per cent of the patients were male, and the average age was 30.0 years. Penetrating trauma was the etiology in more than 90% (GSW,51.5%; SW,31.1%; SGW,6.8%). All other injuries were iatrogenic or secondary to blunt trauma. Truncal injuries (including the neck) accounted for 66% of all injuries treated, while lower extremity injuries (including the groin) accounted for only 19%. Injuries to the abdominal vasculature accounted for 33.7% of the injuries. One thousand fifty-seven patients had 2 or more concurrent vascular injuries, and 32 patients had 4 or more separate vascular injuries. The 27 patients-per-year average of the early 1960s has risen to a current average of 213 patients per year. Economic and population factors influenced wounding agents and injury patterns during the evaluation period. This extensive civilian series presents epidemiologic profiles that are distinctly different from military reports and serves as a guide for current trauma center and health planners.
Thousand Springs State Park is an expansive park with six units to explore: Malad Gorge, Kelton Trail, Earl M. Hardy Box Canyon Springs Nature Preserve, Billingsley Creek, Ritter Island and Niagara Springs. Enjoy the gorgeous views as thousands of gallons of water flow from below ground, cascading down the volcanic cliff faces. Each park offers a different perspective of the varied geology of south central Idaho.
What am I doing wrong? Is there an alternative way to do this without turning my datatype to a string? Why would one have to convert a numeric datatype to a string in order to add a thousands separator, it seems odd. It's a little thing but it feels like something I should be able to do and do quickly.
Alteryx does not allow for commas and other characters to be in a Numeric data type field. There is no other way outside of the reporting suite to add these commas to a Numeric field. A great way is to use the Multi-Field formula tool to convert the field to a String and add a thousands separator. I have included an image to show how you can do it as well as a before and after.
Thus, adding 1 in the [addThousandSeparator] will give you the commas (by default). Please visit Conversion Functions Alteryx Help for more detailed info if you want to change to dot instead of comma.
