Anthropogenic noise is an increasing source of pollution with unclear effects on wildlife. We complimented data from experimental manipulation of noise at bluebird nest boxes by quantifying distances to potential sources of noise (human structures) using ArcGIS. Using linear models in RStudio, we will test the association between distance to human structures with number of babies successfully raised. We will compare these results with the experimental results to better characterize anthropogenic noise effects on bluebirds.
