Unusual Patterns

1) As seen in the above 2 line charts, it can be seen that, June-July-August are the busiest months with the number of visitors hitting the peak. While October-November-December seem to have the lowest. Let us assume that the visitors are coming to see the birds. Birds migrate towards South during Winter ( October-November-December) while migrate towards North during June-July-August. If this were true, then the visitors are coming to the Nature Preserve for a different reason other than bird watching in which case, reduction in the number of birds or birds habitat getting affected is irrelevant to the traffic caused by vehicles in the Nature Preserve. This is applicable both to single day visitors and visitors who visit over multiple days.

2) Camping seems to be least popular, while general gates gets crowded especially among multiple day visitors. This is quote strange considering how the general convention is for the multiple day visitors to camp over days and also go around the Nature Preserve in which case vehicles tend to move through general gates and other entrances. If this inference is true, then the pattern is irrelevant to the popular belief of traffic affecting the birds habitat unless the birds nests are closer to general gates rather than the camps themselves.
