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>

本观鸟预实验（birdwatching pilot）所采集的数据，旨在探究鸟类物种间在攻击行为与领地性方面的相互作用模式。本数据集以表格形式呈现，共包含6列，用于记录数据的采集与整理流程。第一列标注重复观测的日期，即本次观鸟实验的开展日期；第二列记录负责开展观测的研究人员信息；第三列标注数据采集区域，即加拿大安大略省密西沙加市埃尔姆克里克公园（Elmcreek Park）附近的一处本地溪流，本次数据采集共持续两天，总时长2.5小时，分置于两日开展；第四列记录观测到的鸟类物种通用俗名；第五列统计该物种以独立个体为单位参与特定行为的频次；第六列记录观测到的鸟类行为类型，涵盖觅食至物种间相互作用等各类行为。首次数据采集时段为9月12日上午10时至12时，以及9月13日下午2时至3时。首次采样首日天气晴朗，伴有少量云层；次日天气转阴，云层更厚且风力稍强。两周后，研究团队再次开展为期两天的数据采集，本次观测到的多数鸟类物种与首次预实验一致；其中9月26日的采集时段为上午11时至12时，9月27日的采集时段为上午8时45分至11时。
