Talk:Birding in New York City

Notes for the future

 * The "history" section could use work, but it's unclear what it should include. I was tempted to add a bit more about the history of the environment of NYC in general, but it would need some good sources that connects it to birds. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 03:05, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * In the species section, the line The quantity of pigeons, rats, and mallards attract raptors like hawks and a smaller number of owls. Between 1998-2002, a Parks Department initiative reintroduced eastern screech owls to Central Park after none had been seen since 1955. seems like of awkward there. The first could use adding other kinds of city-wide descriptions. The latter seems like it could start a new subsection about native species reintroductions (but I don't have good sources for that as yet). &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 03:05, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Lead needs work (not enough of a summary). &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 19:24, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Plume hunting image
Don't know if you're looking for new candidates and/or if this is of interest to you, but this image, which tracked down for the plume trade section, looks like a good candidate for restoration (colorful, obvious disturbing marks, etc.). It would also be a good addition at plume hunting FWIW. I'd consider attempting it but I suspect that middle crease is a bit more than I can handle even if I didn't already have a lot on my plate right now. Food for thought. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 19:15, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Thanks for adding to the article,, however I had to remove what you added because it had no citations at all and some of it duplicated content already in the article. The information about noise pollution, mutualism, and the language about "interrupted landscapes" could all be good additions here, but it would need to be based on citations to reliable sources -- sources which directly connect the concepts to New York City in particular. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 13:08, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi Rhododenrites! Thank you for your comment and catching my mistake. I will include my primary sources when introducing these ideas. Moose1917 (talk) 16:31, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
