Question 3
To summarize the findings from question 1 and 2, and to come to a final conclusion about the state of Rose-crested Blue Pipits, here are some key pointers:
1. According to our findings in Q1, Pipit numbers have increased steadily, but post 2014, they have vanished from the dumping site.
2. The pipits have moved southwards from the dumping site.
3. The alleged dumping took place sometime between 2014 and 2015.
3. Other species can be seen in the dumping region post 2014.
4. The claims made by Kasios regarding Rose-crested Blue Pipits being found all across the Preserve is FALSE. Only 2 out of the 15 recording samples belong to Rose-crested Blue pipits.
Final Take on the Situation
Based on the findings and evidence gathered, it is evident that the dumping region was a favorite spot for the Rose-crested Blue Pipits. Probably a spot where abundant food or necessary shelter was available for this certain species. There are two possibilities:
1. Due to the dumping, the Blue Pipits were directly affected due to body surface contact. This would have resulted in serious infections or death of the species, hence the disappearance in the region.
2. The dumping would have affected other natural elements like water, vegetation and/or wildlife, which is a source of food and shelter for the Pipits. Due to this, Pipits have migrated from this region southwards of the preserve in search of alternatives.
But as per our analysis, it can also be seen that other bird species are present in the region post the estimated dumping date. Without actual info and a clear understanding of the food and habitat attributes of the species in question, it is not possible to estimate which of the two situations is most likely to be true.
It is recommended a thorough analysis of the traits of different bird species, along with a physical on-site investigation at the dump site be conducted in order to determine the likely presence of hazardous chemicals that have caused the mentioned anomalies. If the dumping is a continuous process, it is very likely that the surrounding areas will also get affected eventually, which would result in either the death of Pipits and/or the disappearance of Pipits from the Preserve.
