@Tsundererra: There's already a lot of really interesting data about noise pollution and birds/songbirds. (Some songbirds lose their ability to communicate effectively or they are unable to be heard over the noise which in turn makes it difficult for them to warn about predators. However, bigger birds who are egg thieves/predators may leave the area while smaller birds who can adjust their song will stay and thrive due to the loss of predators. There are positives and negatives, and it's really interesting how birds adapt.) My research will likely be about our local bird communities (my college is directly beside a highway that produces a ton of noise pollution).
The research could involve any number of things. Video recordings, sound recordings, visual observations (looking for birds, nests, mating, eggs, etc). We can also determine if there has been a loss of certain bird communities based on if there is a decrease in certain fauna/tree growth (as birds spread seeds!).
< _ < A big part of research is reading. That's what I'll be doing over this winter break - reading all kinds of studies and papers related to the subject and just kind of try to come up with my oen testable questions or find a new way to test already asked questions.
I honestly just need to be smart about my meds and take them on time, lol. XD
