O — Total number of observations
A — Average amount of time per visit (minutes)
F — Number of feeding observations
Fiery-billed Aracari, and Lesson’s Motmot) had more observed feedings
than visits. [This anomaly is due to the fact that, towards the end of
the study, for these medium-sized species I had noted how many different
times they had fed during a particular visit]. The third observation
we can make from the table is that, overall, there does not seem to be
much of a correlation between the size of the bird and the average
amount of time it spent on each visit to a Huevos de Caballo . The
average time for each medium-sized bird was 2.7 minutes, and for small
birds it was 2.4 minutes. In contrast, the averages for birds visiting
Gumbo Limbo were 7.0 minutes for medium-sized birds and 1.9 for small
birds.
