Motivation[edit]
The All About Birds (Q109981254) website from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (Q2997535) includes life history and identification information, distribution maps, and sound recordings of songs and calls for 600+ North American species of birds. This is an authoritative source from a preeminent ornithological institution and would be a good addition to Wikidata items for these species.

Discussion[edit]
- „404 — Sorry, we couldn't find the page you were looking for!“ --Succu (talk) 21:38, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- All of the links in the proposal work fine for me in Firefox, so I don't understand what problem you were having @Succu. I just copied the URL from your comment (https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Chuck-wills-widow/) and pasted it into my browser and it takes me to the page for Chuck-will's-widow. In fact, just clicking on the link you have in your comment also works perfectly well. UWashPrincipalCataloger (talk) 23:27, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- Now it works fine. --Succu (talk) 16:28, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- It works for me as well. --Crystal Clements, University of Washington Libraries (talk) 21:59, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
