Option 1

 * Article title:
 * Saltmarsh Sparrow
 * Article Evaluation:
 * Pretty good article with some room to add information about anthropogenic impacts on their conservation and population. The sources are all pretty good, and I have some additional ones from a research paper that would compliment it well.
 * Sources:
 * U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 2020. Report on the current conditions for the saltmarsh sparrow. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Northeast Region, Charlestown, RI. 106 pp. https://fws.gov/northeast/saltmarsh-sparrow/PDF/20200821-Current-Conditions-Report_SALS-Final.pdf

Option 2

 * Article title:
 * Piping Plover
 * Article Evaluation:
 * More developed than the Saltmarsh Sparrow article but, similarly, there can be more information about anthropogenic impacts.
 * Sources:
 * MassAudubon has a lot of great information online, same with the other coastal audubon's on the upper east coast of the United States.

Option 3

 * Article title:
 * Least Tern
 * Article Evaluation:
 * There is room for improvement in this article. There is a lot of information missing in behavioral characteristics as well as conservation status with the potential decline that is occuring.
 * Sources:

Option 4

 * Article title:
 * Methane Emissions
 * Article Evaluation:
 * Good information but there is new research linking red algae supplementation with a decrease in livestock methane emissions so that might be interesting to add.
