High Park is a very large park in Toronto, and there are many people interacting with this ecological habitat. During the outing, I can observe many people walk their dogs which many change the wildlife feeding behaviors. House Sparrow live in there all year long, the creek can provide enough water to them, and there are many insects and nuts in the forest that they can feed on. Mallard and Mute Swan also living in the habitat for the whole year, and they can feed by fishes from the creek; also, there are some visitors feeding them which may ineracting their wild habitat. Northern Cardinal also live there for the whole year, they can find seed from the forest and eat them. All those birds and squirrels have their home range within the park because it can provide enough water, food, and nutrient to them. there are few predatory animals because the human influencing, so birds can live safely, but the record showed there are observations of large Canidae in the park. The plant species are really diverse, such as red maple, bur oak, those trees, and many grass and flowers. Those plant species can provide food and shelter for animals.
