So far, I’ve collected five replicates. The most significant issue that I’ve faced in collecting the data is human influence. I’m collecting the data on a fairly busy trail which sometimes hosts groups of children as such when I’m collecting data and there is a group of children, birds will typically stay away from my sampling location.
One pattern I’ve noticed thus far is that bird activity seems to increase when temperatures are lower. One hypothesis could be that they require more energy (i.e., food) and thus are more active to find food to stay warm.
