Talk:Northern saw-whet owl

Initial Critique

Some editing notes:

-I do not believe that mentioning the scientific description attribution to Rev Keen, belongs in the Description section. The description should be scientific in nature. The sentence could be placed in the leading paragraph.

For instance: The scientific description of one of the sub-species of this owl is attributed to the Rev. John Henry Keen who was a missionary in Canada in 1896. Modified in the leading section as: Rev. John Henry Keen, a Canadian missionary, may have first described the northern saw-whet owl (Aegolius acadicus) as a small, native North American owl in 1896.

-I believe that some of the information in the article could have more reference.

For instance, under the Description, “they are close…. with white spots,” would be more legitimate if a reference is provided, even if carried over from previous reference.

Generally, I believe that the article is unbiased and presents good information regarding the topic. Balexa23 (talk) 02:49, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

Red squirrel

It feeds on Red squirrels? They life in Europe and the little fellow here is an American. Is this wrong?

The link was directed to the wrong type of red squirrel, for sure. I've changed the link to go to American red squirrels (different species from the red squirrel of Europe). DuckWrangler97 (talk) 22:22, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
