 * Support for inclusion in John James Audubon; all original detail seems to be preserved in this colour restoration (I assume that's what it is). Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 11:24, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Support. High-quality scan of an exceptionally rare bird. Nautica Shad es  14:41, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Support. Highly enc. I'm sure that it wouldn't be as rare had Audubon not killed so many of them himself. I think the History Channel said he'd shot a hundred birds a day, every day, for many years. &mdash; BRIAN 0918 &bull; 2008-06-21 16:21Z
 * Support Nice image, high quality. Spencer  T♦C 16:49, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment The image description page does not say why the birds look different (male/female? differing witness accounts? just allelic variation?), could you add that info? Narayanese (talk) 17:17, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * They are indeed male and female. The male has the red while the female is merely black and white. Fleagle 04:08, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Support High quality and extremely aesthetically pleasing. TheOtherSiguy (talk) 19:43, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
