In a certain city, the population $P$ of a particular species of bird is modeled by the exponential growth function:
$$ P(t) = P_0 e^{kt} $$
where:
Suppose that the initial population of this bird species is $P_0 = 500$ and the growth rate is $k = 0.05$. Determine the population of the bird species after 10 years. Enter your answer as a whole number in the grid.
