FEEDING NICHES OF BIRDS: Find a comfortable place to sit and observe the bird feeders. Stay back at least 15 meters (~50 feet) and remain as still as possible so that you do not disturb birds at the feeder. Identify the birds that you see, using a field guide. A list of birds common to Wilmington College’s campus is attached. For each bird that you identify, write the common name on a row label on the data table attached. Add new species as they appear. Note that there are at least three feeding niches around a feeder. Birds may eat seeds while perched on the feeder, they may pick up seeds at the feeder and fly somewhere else to remove the hulls and eat the seeds, or they may feed on seeds that have fallen on the ground under the feeder. Write brief descriptions of the additional feeding niches that you observe. After you feel comfortable identifying some of the frequent visitors, for a period of about 45 minutes, note each bird that visits the feeder. In one-minute intervals, note birds sitting at the feeder at this time, birds feeding on the ground at this time, birds that have taken a seed and flown away in the past minute or other feeding niches that you observe. Make a tally mark for each bird in the data table, indicating species and feeding niche for that feeding event. You may count the same bird twice if it is occupying the niche for more than one interval of time. All together, you should have at least 30 feeding events recorded. If you have not observed that many feeding events, extend your observation time. Write down any additional observations that you have about bird feeding and bird behavior. (Be certain to read the questions you will answer so that you make all the appropriate observations and notes). To test the null hypothesis that birds occupy feeding niches at random, use data from five of the most common bird species in your survey to test whether there is a difference in birds feeding at the feeder, below the feeder and
