  • The Times obit for Herbert Zim obscures the distinction between the Golden Guides for younger readers and the field guides.
  • Why is the entry for field mark nothing more than a stub?
  • Why is there no reference for List of authors of names published under the ICZN? Maybe it's more complicated than the botany list. Is there indeed an authoritative list of author (abbreviations)? I see two Richardsons, for instance.
  • a bird sanctuary is not really the same thing as an animal sanctuary, as we have defined that term
  • There is a note on the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center article to make it more encyclopedic.
  • I have some materials that could bolster the article on Huntley Meadows Park.
