message: I dont kwno if im posting on the correct place. i just wanted to add info into the "Momotus momota" article of wikipedia. the bird (Momotus momota) is the national bird of Nicaragua, that bird is like a patriotic simbol for us. probably adding that info to the page will give more importance to the article. Thank you

replies: text: Actually it's Eumomota superciliosa, or the Turquoise-browed Motmot, that's the national bird of Nicaragua, (rather than the Blue-crowned Motmot, Momotus momota) and that information is already included in the article.  Thanks for checking!  MeegsC | Talk 13:51, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm not knowledgeable about birds, but occasionally take a picture when the opportunity arises. Can someone identify this species? Thanks.

I'll then have the file name, description and category changed appropriately. Thanks! DonFB (talk) 10:58, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi . Where was this picture taken, and when? It's helpful to know, as there are a few similar species in various parts of the world... I'm guessing, from your profile info, that it was somewhere in the US within the past few days. If so, it's an adult snowy egret. MeegsC (talk) 15:14, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi , I agree with MeegsC. Although Little egret increasingly occurs in the US, this is definitely snowy, different plumes, lores and iris characteristics Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:11, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
