The purpose of this observational experiment is to observe and record the living habits and characteristics of different bird species in a specific environmental field. After changing several locations and conducting non-continuous observations, I chose York University, which has abundant bird species with active behaviors, to conduct observational experiments. According to the consistency of the morning bird activity time, I chose to observe after 11 am. A specific observation point was selected on the platform between Vari Hall and grassland. Because this kind of observation field is more conducive to observe more birds. The total observation duration was around an hour. During this period, all the different birds observed, along with their real-time activities and durations had been recorded in as much detail as possible in the wild dataset. After reorganizing the notes, the species, numbers and related activities of the birds that appeared during the observation period are shown in the following table. Also, there is meta-data presented together with the table.

This a rearranged dataset of bird species and their related amount and activities recorded.

The purpose of the field experiment would be concentrating on looking for 'guard' or 'observer' in the Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) colonies group. my experiment design is as follows. Because that Canadian geese prefer to forage collectively in the open grassland, York University and highland garden are chose as experimental sites. Also, due to the high dynamic moving characters of Canadian geese, the requirement of observing groups of the same number of individuals seems a bit impractical. Hence, for exploring whether there is an observer role played in different sizes of groups, the comparison groups will be divided into large size group-a group containing more than 10 individuals, and a small size group- a group less than 10 individuals.Here is my dataset together with meta-data. The duration of each replicate is 20 min maximum. During the experiment, the number of individuals who were observed to have upright upper body behavior and the time ranges they maintained this behavior are noted.
