[edit] North of North Carolina

Since North Carolina is entirely north of South Carolina, I think "north of North Carolina" is better. Is there a problem with it? —JerryFriedman 21:57, 8 December 2005 (UTC) 21:56, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Natural intercontinental" spread

I am not a scientist, but I think it is questionable, to say the least, that this ibis species "spread naturally from Africa to northern South America in the 19th century." I would not suspect even the hardiest bird to be capable of such a trans-Atlantic flight. But more to the point, if such were possible, it seems unlikely that it would happen for the first time during the 19th century. This claim requires evidence, or else it should be dismissed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.238.7.137 (talk) 18:55, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
