Better Picture?[edit]

Considering replacing the current picture with http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Micrathene_whitneyi_29APR12_Madera_Canyon_AZ.jpg This is a much better picture, but the current one does show it in its more typical habitat. Comments? BBODO (talk) 04:14, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

making change as there appears to be no objections. BeadleB (talk) 20:43, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Diet[edit]

The article stated their diet was mainly insects and later mainly scorpions. These can not both be true. My limited research suggests that the former is true so I will replace mainly with also. GSAckerman (talk) 17:24, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
