Source: "The Chicago Reader described them more colorfully, as "smart-assed teenagers", noting that they "astounded their stuffy elders with the sightings they reported and their ability to defend the accuracy of those sightings".[2] The members purchased a used Buick, which they used to travel to birding locations. Sewer outfalls and garbage dumps where popular destinations."

- Ah ok, let me also strike off the two I added.
New enough, long enough. Well referenced; Earwigs is alright and spot checked for close paraphrasing. The hook is interesting, and cited inline. QPQ done. ALT0 is good to go. FacetsOfNonStickPans (talk) 05:06, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
