Well, every awesome day out identifying birds and hiking in some really beautiful areas in and around phoenix gets followed by some pretty tedious data input. I spent a lot of time this month updating my spreadsheet in excel to make it more user friendly. Now, once I input my findings for the month all of my calculations will populate themselves for both my Simpson Index and my Shannon-Weiner index. This will save me at least 3 hours of calculations each week so I'm really excited about that. I have attached my findings so far below as well as some more pictures that I took while out collecting data.

To Pablo,
ReplyDeleteMust be so fun to watch birds. Those birds are so beautiful and the photos you took are of amazing quality. You must be able to speak bird now (: . I love how your data is organized so well. What exactly is the data that you are measuring though? Wish you the best with your work!
