I'll take this one. As usual, I have some preliminary image suggestions first. FunkMonk (talk) 23:21, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I might be going back to Norfolk Island for work in April...I was surprised by how large they were, and pretty tame too. So might be able to get some more photos.Cas Liber (talk·contribs) 22:09, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If available, I think we should always show all growth stages and plumage variations. You don't show the downy chick, though Commons has a category full of it:[1]
Since you have the room, it could be nice to show a close up of the head of this bird.
added. Am tempted to swap the head shot into the taxobox as then it faces into the page, as does the flying bird if I place it at the left of the article under description section.Cas Liber (talk·contribs) 12:28, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's always best to show the entire subject in the taxobox. FunkMonk (talk) 15:29, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You mention that crazy ants are a threat, why not show this photo[2] then of a bird under attack?
added...but I think the licence is not good - it says non commerical use on flickr :(Cas Liber (talk·contribs) 12:57, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It has to be fine since it is a US government work, thereby being in the public domain. RileyBugz私に叫ぼう私の編集 18:30, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I think you can point that out during FACm but the image deswcription on COmmons could probably clarify it has a kind of invalid licence on Flckr. FunkMonk (talk) 15:29, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"The large range and apparently stable population indicate that the red-tailed tropicbird is classified as a least-concern species according to the IUCN" That is a very strange way to put it. It doesn't indicate anything, it is the reason it is classified as such.
I think the word "although" is used at an unnecessarily high degree throughout.
got rid of a couple, although hard to remove in contrastive clausesCas Liber (talk·contribs) 22:09, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"bimodality" Explain.
they either go on short or long foraging trips with no in between lengths. If you can think of an equally succinct way to say it I am all ears. Also there is a nice picture at the top of the target article.Cas Liber (talk·contribs) 22:09, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"and members of the genus Cypselurus) prominent" Why the half parenthesis?
