VAUX'S SWIFT
FALL 2021

MY FINAL PROJECT FOR MY DATA VISUALIZATION CLASS.

I DECIDED I WANTED TO PURSUE DATA ON VAUX’S SWIFT, A BIRD I HAD GROWN UP LEARNING ABOUT.
                       
AFTER BEGINNING MY RESEARCH, I STUMBLED ACROSS A WEBSITE CALLED “VAUX’S HAPPENING” THAT WAS DEVOTED
TO COLLECTING DATA ON THESE BIRDS.
THE DATA WAS PLENTIFUL, BUT THE INFORMATION WAS NOT. IN ORDER TO CLARIFY WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT, I REACHED OUT TO LARRY SCHWITTERS, THE CREATOR OF THE WEBSITE, A MAN WHO HAS DEVOTED HIS WHOLE LIFE TO RESEARCHING THIS BIRD.
                       
AFTER TALKING TO HIM ON THE PHONE, I WAS READY TO BEGIN DESIGNING A WEBSITE THAT WOULD SHOW OFF SOME OF THE INFORMATION AND DATA HE HAD COLLECTED.
