<p>Just need someone to point out any grammatical/writing errors. </p>
<p>I would PM it but I’m pressed on time so I’ll just post it here. </p>
<p>Results</p>
<pre><code>A species abundance curve (Figure 1) (Brower, Zar, and von Ende, 1998, p.174) was formed from the data to indicate the abundance of each species of bird in both the Pleistocene Terrace and the Canyon Bottom. The Western Blue Bird and Spotted Towhee were the most abundant species of bird in the Pleistocene Terrace and the Western Flycatcher was the most abundant species of bird in the Canyon Bottom. Additionally, a data table (Table 1) was formed to assess the plant usage of birds in the Pleistocene Terrace and the Canyon Bottom. Manzanita was the most utilized plant in the Pleistocene Terrace and Oak, Maple, and Mountain Mahogany were the most utilized plants in the Canyon Bottom.

<p>Discussion</p>
<pre><code>From the data collected, the Western Blue Bird and Spotted Towhee were the most common species of bird in the Pleistocene Terrace. Seven different birds from each respective species were observed while the next most common species was the California Towhee with only four birds observed. The Western Blue Bird and Spotted Towhee appear to have an advantage over the other observed species of bird that contributes to their higher numbers in the area. In the Canyon Bottom, the Western Flycatcher and Western Blue Bird were the most common species of bird but only three different birds were observed for each respective species. There were less species of bird observed and the disparity in the number of birds observed between each species was less in the Canyon Bottom compared to the Pleistocene Terrace. Birds were more difficult to observe in the larger trees of the Canyon Bottom and less time was spent observing birds in the Canyon Bottom so the methods carried out may have contributed to the difference in number of birds observed. The data indicates that Manzanita is the most utilized plant by birds in the Pleistocene Terrace, but plant density was not accounted for in the study. Birds may be utilizing Manzanita the most due to its abundance in the area rather than for functional purposes. Plant density was not accounted for in the Canyon Bottom either, but from the data it did not appear that a certain plant species was utilized the most. A useful follow up to this study would be to explore what purpose each plant species serves for the birds while also considering the abundance of each plant species.
