This is a new account but I'm not new to Wikipedia. I originally started editing years ago under the username, NwJerseyLiz (contributions here, edit breakdown here) which I maintain as an alternate account. Until I established this account, I also edited as an IP over the years to make mostly minor copy edits. I have created this username account (contributions here) so I can do a variety of activities that unregistered accounts can not do. Here's my breakdown of edit history with this account.

The Mauritius kestrel (Falco punctatus) is a bird of prey in the family Falconidae endemic to the forests of Mauritius, where it is restricted to the southwestern plateau's forests, cliffs, and ravines. It colonized the island and evolved into a distinct species from other Indian Ocean kestrels, probably during the Gelasian or Early Pleistocene periods. The Mauritius kestrel can reach a size between 26 and 30.5 centimetres (10.2 and 12.0 inches), with a mass of up to 250 grams (8.8 ounces) and rounded wings with a span of approximately 45 centimetres (18 inches). Males are slightly smaller than the females. It is a carnivorous bird, eating geckos, dragonflies, cicadas, cockroaches, crickets, and small birds. It hunts by means of short, swift flights through the forests. In 2022, it was proclaimed the Mauritian national bird to mark the 30th anniversary of the Republic of Mauritius. This Mauritius kestrel was photographed in the Ebony Forest near the village of Chamarel.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
Est omnino difficile iudicare inclusionis meritum cuiusdam rei in encyclopædia cum ratio sciendi quid populi referat incerta sit, sed nihilominus aliquid encyclopædiam dedecet
It is generally difficult to judge the worthiness of a particular topic for inclusion in an encyclopedia considering that there is no certain way to know what interests people, but some topics nevertheless are not fit for an encyclopedia.
This motto reflects the desire of these Wikipedians to be reluctant, but not entirely unwilling, to remove articles from Wikipedia.
