[edit] Things To Do

(<strike>strike through</strike> when done)

  • Check description reference
  • Check Bannerman's seminal work Birds of the Canary Islands which should hold good field data.
  • Reread references not as inline quote: (author(s) date) and check literature mentioned in Hockey (1982, 1987) and Álamo Tavío (1975).
  • Other papers might have been in Journal für Ornithologie in the latter 19th/early 20th century when sp. was still reasonably easy to find, and more recently (1980s/1990s) in (bird) conservation journals, maybe also BBOC (Bannerman), Ostrich (Hockey).
  • There may be some Spanish doctoral or postgraduate work; possibly mid-1990s; might want to check Ardeola (journal).
  • Information on reproduction is fairly shaky; much can be conjectured but things like clutch size (not verified, but plausible) stand out as peculiar.
