During my initial data collection in module 3, there were a few different takeaways I had during the experience. I used stratified sampling with five different quadrants to observe and five different times during the day. I did not experience any difficulties implementing my sampling strategy, I have had good weather so far, the only potential problem is that visiting the sampling site five times in one day can be challenging, considering I need to be off work and make numerous trips ten minutes both ways form my home. The data that I have collected so far has not been surprising, the turtles have been active during the hours where sunlight is most present. I do plan to collect data using the same techniques, I will likely conduct a few more days of sampling in order to gather enough data to draw a conclusion on my original hypothesis.
