Data collection
My data collection is now complete, and overall, the process was very nice. I focused on observing Black-capped Chickadee and their behavioural patterns at Assiniboine Park, Winnipeg. I did this…
Design reflection
The strategy i chose was random sampling. The data collection did cause some difficulties which were: Black-capped Chickadee are highly mobile and forage actively which made tracking the group challenging…
Sampling strategies
Sampling strategies used: for this study I focused on area-based methods with three distinct sampling strategies. haphazard = samples were placed arbitrarily in locations selected without any systematic approach. random…
Ongoing field observations
Organism of my study: The focus of my field search is Black-capped Chickadee, a small bird commonly found in forested regions and urban parks. Observations along the environment: during my…
Sources of Scientific information
source: effects of habitat fragmentation on movement patterns and population dynamics of amphibians. type of information: this is an academic peer-reviewed article. And I chose this article because: it is…
Blog Post 9 – Reflection on Arctic Research
My project was on the affects of slope aspect (North or South facing) and the affect on vegetation health. I used slopes on landfills in the arctic and visually classified…
Blog Post 8 – Table of collected data
I summarized my field data into a table and configured it a few different ways until I landed on grouping both the North transects together and the South transects together…
Observation

This visit to Beacon Hill Park in Victoria, B.C. was on January 14th, 2025 at around 8:45am. The conditions were clear and sunny, with a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius…
Blog Post 7 Theoretical Perspectives – Arctic Ecosystems
The theoretical basis is surrounding sun exposure and chlorophyll uptake affecting revegetation after a disturbance in an arctic ecosystem. Keywords surrounding this would be arctic ecosystems, revegetation, and disturbance.
