I did my data collection on four separate days, first on September 12, then the 13th, 15th and 19th. I counted the number of ducks in each of the three locations at McArthur Island and categorizing them into each of the four states depending on if the ducks were on land or in water. I repeated this process at three times of the day (10am, 2pm, 6pm). After analyzing my data on the first day I realized that over the course of the day the temperature of the air and water increased, and so the number of ducks in the water increased substantially . At the pond and the river though, there was not much change over the three times I observed the ducks. After viewing this data my hypothesis still hasn’t changed and I will continue to analyze it and make some slight adjustments to my methods
