Resource Partitioning- Cora Marquez
I walked outside of my apartment this weekend and into the middle of my street. I started walking up and down the sidewalk looking at all the trees lining the road. I found many pieces of evidence that showed other species presence. The tree I observed the most was a old tall tree, I am not sure exactly what kind of tree it was but it was gorgeous. One piece of evidence that I found on the tree were scratches which could have been made by a numerous amount of animals. I also found many bit marks and hole on some of the leaves that were made by insects. The leaves were starting to all so on the ground I was able to notice the marks much closer. There was no wildlife in the tree when I was observing it but I did notice higher in the branches a nest formation. I am not sure if there were still birds that inhabited it but there was at one point. I could account for 2-3 species on this particular tree I found.
