BIOL 3250 Birdwatching dataset.pdf

The data collected from the birdwatching pilot examines additional behaviour of how species interact with each other in regards to aggression and territoriality. The dataset is presented in a table which contains 6 columns containing information on how data was compiled. The first column contains the repetitions which are the dates the experiment, birdwatching, took place. The second column kept track of the researcher who was conducting observation. Column three was the area in which data was being collected which was at a local creek by Elmcreek park in the city of Mississauga Ontario over the span of two days for a total of two and a half hours divided across both days. Column four was the common-name species observed and column five compiled the frequency in which that species participated in a particular behaviour not as an individual but as separate individuals. Column six was the behaviour the birds were observed doing from foraging to species interactions. Data was collected in the early morning between 10 am-12 pm on September 12th and 2 pm-3pm on September 13th. The initial day of sampling the temperature was sunny with slight clouding whereas it was cloudier on the second day with a little more wind.
