Birdwatching Deep Dive Dataset Observing Species Interaction and Behaviour

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. Data was collected again over a period of two days two weeks later where the majority of species observed remained the same from the initial pilot, the data collected on September 26th was between the hours of 11 am-12pm whereas the data collected on September 27th was collected between the hours of 8:45am-11am.<br>

本数据集源自观鸟预实验，旨在探究鸟类物种间在攻击性与领地性层面的互动行为细节。本数据集以表格形式呈现，共包含6列字段，用于记录数据采集的相关信息：第一列为重复采样的日期，即本次观鸟实验的开展日期；第二列为负责执行观测工作的研究人员信息；第三列为数据采集区域，具体位于加拿大安大略省（Ontario）密西沙加市（Mississauga）埃尔姆克里克公园（Elmcreek Park）旁的一处本地溪流，本次采样周期为两日，总时长2.5小时，分两日完成；第四列为观测到的鸟类物种常用名；第五列为该物种以独立个体为单位参与特定行为的频次统计；第六列为观测到的鸟类行为类型，涵盖觅食至物种间互动等多种场景。
首次采样于9月12日上午10时至12时、9月13日下午2时至3时开展。首日采样天气晴好，偶有薄云；次日则云层更厚，风力稍强。两周后，研究团队再次开展了为期两日的采样工作，本次观测到的多数物种与首次预实验一致。其中9月26日的采样时段为上午11时至12时，9月27日的采样时段为上午8时45分至11时。
