Although this project was fairly simple in nature, I have a new appreciation for how complicated research projects in ecology can be. Especially having to write a report afterwards attempting to explain, as clearly as possible, the entire research project.
Initially, I wanted to collect information on the bird species and the number of individuals for each species. I attempted to collect the number of individuals, however, I came to realize that collecting this information would be near impossible. Unless each individual would be tagged it was very difficult to determine whether an individual had been counted already.
