irruptions – could be linked in the body also.

Its range may spread south with rodent plagues. – Is "plague" an appropriate word here, from a biological perspective? It implies something negative.

changed to 'irruptions' Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:54, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A range map would be great.

yeah - to do a map I need a bit of undisturbed time where I can focus. Been crazy busy these past few days. But is on the agenda Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:10, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

the letter-winged kite mostly breeds an area – "breeds in an area"?

changed to "generally" as this is the usual region it breeds in. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:54, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Did a copy edit for minor things. Not really much to nitpick. Interesting article! --Jens Lallensack (talk) 20:00, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for picking up typos. The species is not well known, which is why it is slimmer than many other articles I've worked on. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 10:46, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Closing note: Thanks for the fixes. Congrats for another interesting bird GA! --Jens Lallensack (talk) 19:32, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
