2. How could you get a better estimate of the number of cardinals thio are visiting the birdbath in a day?

To get a more accurate estimate of the number of cardinals visiting your birdbath, try setting up a birdwatching log. Spend an hour or two each day at different times, jotting down the number of cardinals and any other birds that stop by. This can help capture variations throughout the day. You might also consider using a camera or a bird feeder with a timer feature to document visits more objectively without needing to be present. Another fun approach is to create a bird count challenge with family or friends! Assign each person a day to observe the birdbath and record their findings. This adds a social twist to your birdwatching and can lead to lively discussions on who saw the most cardinals or came up with the best tactics for spotting them. Plus, you’ll gather diverse data over a longer period!
