Large frogmouth

[edit]
  • ... that the nest of the large frogmouth consists of a circular pad of down on which a single egg is balanced? Source: "The nest is a curious structure being a thick circular pad of fine down closely matted together ... a single egg is laid ... it is difficult to understand how the egg is kept in position ... it would be thrown to the ground if the mother bird were not incubating it."

  • Article size and date check out; hook is cited, the gBooks preview gives me a "no page for you" on the relevant page but as it's quoted and checked around, AGF on the hook source. Earwig check indicates no copyplag concerns; QPQ done. I believe this is good to go; and good work on improving these taxonomic articles. - The Bushranger One ping only 19:58, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
