Motivation

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

• „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)
