Talk:Canary Islands oystercatcher

Things To Do
( strike through  when done)
 * Check description reference
 * Check Bannerman's seminal work Birds of the Canary Islands which should hold good field data.
 * Reread references not as inline quote: (author(s) date) and check literature mentioned in Hockey (1982, 1987) and Álamo Tavío (1975).
 * Other papers might have been in Journal für Ornithologie in the latter 19th/early 20th century when sp. was still reasonably easy to find, and more recently (1980s/1990s) in (bird) conservation journals, maybe also BBOC (Bannerman), Ostrich (Hockey).
 * There may be some Spanish doctoral or postgraduate work; possibly mid-1990s; might want to check Ardeola (journal).

 * Information on reproduction is fairly shaky; much can be conjectured but things like clutch size (not verified, but plausible) stand out as peculiar.
