Songbird Activity

<p>This study was conducted in Burnaby, British Columbia between April 15, 2022 and June 21, 2022.<br> Using a Samsung Galaxy J320W8, I have compiled 369 recordings of songbird activity including song sparrows, chickadees, towhees and warblers. These songbirds are among the most prominent in Southwestern British Columbia. For the purpose of this project, I have used the free version of the AlfredCamera application, which gets triggered by any motion and records up to 30 seconds of footage in mp4 format.<br> The intent of this project is multi-fold:<br> - Study songbird activity in urban areas,<br> - Quantify the suitability to songbirds of an urban yard given its proximity to dwellings, noise level and vegetation type,<br> - Analyze the songbird population by using statistical tools,<br> - Paint an accurate picture of the songbird population,<br> - Create a reliable tool to enable citizen scientists to replicate this experiment and gather useful information to ensure the existence of vegetation and greenery in which songbirds thrive.<br> &nbsp;</p>
