Now, I see
Based on insights from initial exploration, the recording are further investigated with custom visualizations in R. Faceting technique is used to be able to compare observations across time frames.
Steps followed
- Lekagul Roadways graph is loaded on to R and after setting the axis, map is plotted on the graph using geom_raster. A rectangular geom of about 9x9 pixels is overlaid on the graph to mark the alleged dumping site.
- The species that we want to study further i.e. Rose Crested Blue Pipit, Bombadil, Bent beak riffraff, Lesser Birchbeere, Vermillion Trillian, Ordinary Snape are plotted on the graph.
- Colours of points on the graph are mapped to Species and the 2d density attribute with the same colour is added for each species.
- Resultant plot is faceted using a season modified_year layout
- Rugs are added as an visual aid.
Please note that the data is available only till spring 2018 and hence summer, fall 2018 do not have any records to show.
Insights
- Bombadil birds have not moved much and the number of recordings are decreasing.
- Lesser Birchbee birds seem to be actively moving around the park. They seem to have two clusters one nearer to the alleged location and the other far south.
- Ordinary snape seems to be active in the month of spring and summer and there is no conclusive evidence that their population is falling.
- Vermillion trillion seems to move back and forth the alleged region. Their Vocalization distribution has to be further investigated to understand their behaviour.
A closer look at Rose Crested Blue Pipit reveals following patterns:
