[edit] Comment
Hi, folks.
These bird pages are fascinating. I am studying bird biology through the Cornell University Lab of Ornithology home study course. I am fascinated with anything that naturally grows its own feathers. Since birds are the only animals on this planet to do so, they are the objects of my passion.
I learn a lot from webpages such as this. May I make one suggestion?
When you show a color image of a bird species, enable it to be enlarged to full-page size when clicked on. Minute details can be better seen that way. I clicked on the image of the Wryneck, and got text, but not a larger image.
The webpage on the Heath Hen has finally cleared up the confusion I had about the extinction of the Greater Prairie Chicken. This latter bird has been listed as "extinct" by several sources, yet other sources have shown the Greater Prairie Chicken to be alive and well. The Heath Hen was a subspecies, and I now realize that THIS is what the sources are actually referring to as the "extinct Prairie Chicken", and not the Prairie Chicken, itself.
Learn something new every day. Keep up the great work!

- The problem being to have a large enough non-copyright image to start with. Many pages do have a link to a larger image, though it is recommended that JPEG images do not exceed 100K. Glad you like the articles - perhaps you're planning to write some, there are lots of NAm birds to do? jimfbleak 17:00, 4 Sep 2003 (UTC)
