A short introduction about myself and explaining more about the process of this project.
An open area with a few trees and is located near York University. Also right next to Dan Iannuzzi Park, so majority of the birds have been going back and forth between the two parks.
A larger diversity and ecosystem in comparison to Fred Young Park. Numerous trees since it's right next to a forest, and two ponds in which one of them had a lot of tadpoles.
A more urban-like park that has a tennis club, a play park, and its own field to play soccer and football. From experience, this was by far the park with the least bird diversity since there were only robins, sparrows, and starlings to see on all three days.
Not only near the pioneer village but is also known to have huge green spaces for living beings and plants. Consists of more bugs than birds to the point where I got chased by one for a while.
Perhaps the quietest park I visited so far. Each time I went, I thought that I won’t see that many birds even though the trail is connected to Black Creek Parkland, yet I always find some birds near the 10-minute mark in the end.
The home of woodpeckers and chickadees! It’s interesting because this park, Black Creek, and Derrydowns are all connected like a huge trail, but the biodiversity of each of them is uniquely different.
One of the most beautiful parks I have ever seen! Definitely one of my favourite places to go for a picnic or to bird-watch again in the future.
A nice view and great for morning jogs, but surprisingly didn’t see as many birds as I thought. Back then would see a lot of geese and ducks, but during the week I haven’t spotted even a single Canadian Goose at all.
An in-depth summary of my findings, what I learned, whether I would do a citizen science project again, and my sources.
