  • Article is new enough, long enough, and well referenced. QPQ is done. No copyvio issues. Image is freely licensed. Hook is interesting, but it lacks an immediate reference in the article. I checked the nearest source (Colwell 2010) but was unable to find the supporting material. Could you point me to a specific source and location for the hook? Thanks. -Zanhe (talk) 07:18, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
Thank you @Zanhe:. I can't find it either. That particular source is exclusively about wetland birds and I found and added another source that dealt with the topic m0re generally. How about:
  • ALT1 ... that flyways used by migrating wetland birds have traditional staging points where they can rebuild their energy reserves? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:03, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
Thanks, and I've verified ALT1 in the source. However, the info regarding the widening and narrowing of the flyways should be removed from the article until a source can be found. -Zanhe (talk) 23:51, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
@Zanhe: Removed. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:21, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
Thank you. ALT is good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 09:27, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
