Digital Imagining of Sitta caroolinesis in Southwest Fort Wayne, IN By Loren DeMien, Undergraduate student of Predental, University of Saint Francis, 2701 Spring Street, Fort Wayne, IN 46808. 20 November 2009 Abstract The digital imagining of birds took place at a resident’s house, where different species of birds were recorded. The Sitta carolinesis was one of species videotaped. The bird was visited the bird feeder 7 times for an average of 12.71 seconds. Introduction White-Breasted Nuthatches live in most of North America, southern part of Canada, and Central America. The pilot study was conducted at a resident’s house recording different species of birds coming to and from a bird feeder. There were four species of birds…show more content…
The White-Breasted Nuthatch belongs to the family Sitta. The White-Breasted Nuthatch has a long black bill, short tail, black cap, generally grayish blue back, white face, and has a white breast and belly. Species Sitta carolinesis belongs to the kingdom Animalia phylum Craniata, class Aves, order Passeriformes, and family Sitta. Quantitative Analysis – Lengths of Appearances During the 2050 seconds of video, the species’ of bird came to the feeder 7 times for a total of 89 seconds. The length of time that the species’ of bird appeared in the frame was 12.71, [pic] 17.08 seconds (the average + standard deviation). Discussion The significance of Sitta carolinesis observed at the feeder was very important to the research for future experiments. Sitta carolinesis help maintain a balance in the insect population, and dispose of seeds from a variety of plants. Whit-Breasted Nuthatches bird is common, it does not have a lot of documentation on its life history. The results of the bird living in small natural holes in trees can be a cause on why there is not a lot on their life
