The habitat section reads: "Throughout much of its range this species is found in mangroves. On the Pacific slope of northern Central America it is not found in mangroves, only inland in tropical dry forest and coffee plantations (contrary to much of the literature)."

...what is the basis that this claim is made on? Individual experience? Data collection? Word of mouth? Speculation? Literature is most of what we have to go on when it comes to a worldwide bird wiki like this.

I'm not saying personal additions is bad - it adds to the Opus greatly - but it should, perhaps, be referenced so other editors don't come upon the text with confusion. E.g.:
# Observations and notes by user '''njlarsen'''. May, 2008.

Sounds like a good idea, and it can be put in the text as a comment to editors with the usual comment formatting "<!-- -->". Or did you want it as an "open" thing, which all users can see all the time?
