[edit] "worldwide"

The article uses both "world wide" and "world-wide". You might want to pick one for consistency. My suggestion would be with the hyphen, though if it were me, I'd go with "worldwide" or "in the world". —JerryFriedman 20:59, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I have changed all instances of "world-wide" to "worldwide." Thank goodness for Ctrl+H. --Birdman1 ^{talk/contribs} 21:16, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More sources

I think this article needs to cite more sources for the paragraphs. Also, why is the information about the number of worldwide and North American species in the List of New Jersey birds? Shouldn't it be in the List of North American birds or something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hottie87 (talk • contribs)

That (worldwide/North American #s) is the convention for bird list articles. Please add the unreferenced template to all bird list articles of this form. Also, the sources for the paragraphs are found within the family articles themselves. Could you add them? A question: How did you come upon this list? --Birdman1 ^{talk/contribs} 22:15, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Given the edits User:Hottie87 recently made, it is likely that adding {{unreferenced}} was a test. So I have removed the tag. --Edcolins 22:37, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

This article helped me identify some Turkey Vultures I saw the other day for the first time. Man, they are funny-looking little monsters, aren't they?--Pharos 00:29, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Update needed

According to the New Jersey Bird Records Committee's 2007 Annual Report (included in the Fall 2007 issue of the New Jersey Audubon Society's New Jersey Birds), the state list as of January 1, 2007 stood at 461. This article currently says 458, so some updating is needed!  : ) MeegsC | Talk 16:33, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] One to add

A colony of Monk Parakeets has taken up residence in Edgewater, New Jersey. This is an introduced species and it has been speculated that they arrived from Brooklyn via a 1960s JFK airport release. Ref: [1] --ChrisRuvolo (t) 17:37, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
