Fourth Report-5/15

At 5:47 on thursday the fifteenth, I returned to my site to continue my observations. It was a sunny day, clear skys with a light breeze. Many swan were on shore particularly at the feeding station. At first there were very few swan in the water but there were progressively more as time went on. Later in the day several of the swan left the feeding station to congregate on the closest shore. The geese population grew to 8 or 9 most likely due to more coming from the other lake.

It's good to concentrate on the (competing?) populations of birds, however you can add even more depth regarding the limited resources these birds have to compete over. Would this be intraspecific or interspecific competition? Also, start to explore other aspects of your area!
