My data collection took place from May 16-24th, for a total of nine sample days. I did point counts in the morning and evening with survey times starting around 5:15 am and lasting for approximately 20-30 minutes. Evening survey start times ranged from 6:30 pm to 7:00 pm and lasted 20-35 minutes. Weather was typical spring weather with overcast, variable rainfall and sun with temperatures ranging from 10 degrees Celsius in the morning to 22 degrees Celsius in the evenings. I found identifying birds by sight harder when there was a light drizzle since they were generally under cover of shrubs and also with the prolific calling, it was hard to tease out different species given the number of birds calling at one time. I was surprised to hear that the dawn chorus started extremely early, around 4:00 am, but from what I could tell that was mostly American robins, the most common bird species found in my sample area. I utilized the Audobon bird app and Sibley’s Field Guide to Birds of North America to help to identify bird species I was seeing and hearing. I chose longer sampling times since I knew it was going to take some time to properly identify the birds I was seeing and hearing. There were some more “rarer” birds that I saw during my point counts, but they were fly-bys and not truly utilizing the space in which I was studying, However, it was nice to see an American Kestrel, Blue Heron, bald eagle, and a red-tailed hawk. Every morning wild turkeys could be heard but were not within my study area, so I did not include those.
