I found that summarizing my data into a visually representative table or graph was relatively easy. The table I submitted summarizes the number of individuals (abundance) counted within the two habitat areas within Terwillegar Park. My prediction was that bird abundance would increase with increase in tree/forest cover. When I summarized my data into the table it was noticeable that the highest number of individuals was the forested area. In my paper I plan on creating a visually representative bar graph of the data collected as this will display the difference in abundance easier than in table form.
