Range Map

[edit]

The range map for fulica americana shows Hawaii as a winter habitat. Is this correct? I thought fulica alai was a separate species. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:1201:858E:B981:EE58:F30B:5BEC (talk) 19:33, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Subspecies

[edit]

The article states there are 3 subspecies listing alai, caribaea and ardesiaca. This omits the nominate, Fulica americana americana. I have inserted the words, «in addition to the nominate» to correct this. In any case, the source is del Hoyo et al, 1996. Since then, according to the eBird/Clements checklists 2018, F.a.caribaea has been merged with F.a.americana, while ssp alai and ardesiaca are new recognised as species. The article needs revision.

Description

[edit]

The article lacks detail in regard to the bird's frontal shield. I will be adding this subsection to the Description section. Feel free to edit it. Yhhky (talk) 00:41, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
