My name is Emmett

1) What is the identity of the animal you are studying?

-I am studying the Mallard Duck scientifically known as Anas Platyrhynchos.

2) Why did you choose this animal to study?

-Ducks are a fairly large sized animal for my area, they are easily accessible, and I fed them bread when my babysitter and I used to go on walks..

3) How would you describe the habitat in which you are doing your observations?

-I am conducting my experiment in a public park that has a large pong which simplifies down into ravines. The water is surrounded by grass and trees. The park is also home to a variety of different birds that encircle the skies, trees, and grass areas including sea gulls, geese, and small black birds.

4) What are some interesting and/or surprising observations you have made thus far?

-A surprising moment occurred during my first set of observations around 7:30pm. I was jotting down notes about the interactions, physical features, and movements of the ducks when suddenly, in a period of about 10 seconds, every single duck I was observing migrated in the same direction. On my first day, the ducks decided that my time with them was over.

5) What is are one or two personal fun facts you can share?

-My passion is soccer but I also love to pass around a guitar and strum favorite songs.
