+## Package size
+
+`R CMD check` reports an installed size of 6.3 MB (`data` subdirectory
+6.2 MB), driven by the example `BirdFlow` model objects the package
+exists to provide (`amewoo.rda` 3.9 MB, `rewbla.rda` 1.1 MB, plus
+`states.rda`, `rewbla_observations.rda`, and `rewbla_intervals.rda`
+together under 0.2 MB on disk). This is over the informal 5 MB
+guideline for source packages.
+
+These models and ancillary data are the package's sole purpose: fitted
+example models for testing and demonstrating the companion `BirdFlowR`
+package. They have already been fit at coarse spatial resolution
+(`amewoo` at 150 km, `rewbla` at 350 km) and, for `rewbla`, with heavy
+sparsification specifically to minimize size while still exercising the
+code paths they are used for (geometry mismatches and season wraparound
+in particular). `amewoo`'s resolution was kept finer than `rewbla`'s
+because it is also used in `BirdFlowR` vignette figures, where coarser
+resolution would visibly degrade example output.
+
+## Test environments
+
+* local macOS install, R 4.x
+* GitHub Actions: macOS, Windows, Ubuntu (release and devel)
