Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)
Examining Corvus brachyrhynchos (American crow) habitat selection is valuable in understanding how this generalist species adapts to human-altered environments.
Objectives of the study:
Are crows utilizing a specific type of anthropogenic environment significantly more than the other?
Is human and vehicle presence at the sites is significantly affecting crow abundance?
I recorded observations of crow abundance at four sites in Arcata, CA, USA representing two habitat types; urban and agricultural. Analysis of my results showed that crows are significantly selecting urban sites over agricultural.
