(<strike>strike through</strike> when done)

• Check description reference
• Check Bannerman's seminal work Birds of the Canary Islands which should hold good field data.
• Reread references not as inline quote: (author(s) date) and check literature mentioned in Hockey (1982, 1987) and Álamo Tavío (1975).
• Other papers might have been in
  BBOC (Bannerman), Ostrich
  (Hockey).
• There may be some Spanish doctoral or postgraduate work; possibly mid-1990s; might want to check Ardeola (journal).

• Information on reproduction is fairly shaky; much can be conjectured but things like clutch size (not verified, but plausible) stand out as peculiar.
