Newsletter challenge

Casliber stepped up and met last month's newsletter challenge, getting crested quetzal to DYK status. Per a request dating from May 2014, we're now looking for someone to expand the white-rumped swallow article. Here is a list of books which might prove useful. The editor who gets the article to DYK status (1500 words, not including citations; check the DYK rules) will be mentioned in next month's newsletter.
