The following graph was created based on the data collected for the field research project:
This graph shows the total number of bird species (bar chart) observed with the ambient air temperature overlaid (line chart). As there were only two variables collected for this research project it was fairly easy to layout the data in a graph.
The outcome was not as I was expecting. I was expecting an linear increase in the number of bird species observed as temperatures increased. It would be interesting to see if the same trend exists if more data is collected.
