I added this, after a look through copyright renewal records:

This issue of The Auk had to have been renewed 28 years after its publication, in which case the copyright renewal would have had to be published in the catalog of copyright entries, for which periodical entries are digitised for 1975–78 here, and for which no copyright renewals for the Auk or the particular paper this was published in appear to exist. Crude searches of all the (often less complete) copies of the entries linked from [1] also do not appear to hold records for this work.

Actually, it looks like there was no copyright notice[2], in which case it looks like no copyright renewal would have been necessary: {{PD-US-no notice}} says so, but some sources linked under Commons:Licensing#United States are a bit unclear. —innotata 22:11, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks more certain [3]. I think I'll look at print copies of The Auk from 1923 onwards soon, to see if that'll help. —innotata 22:13, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I looked for it myself there before I uploaded it, hence the license. Same with the other Auk images. FunkMonk (talk) 22:14, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There aren't any other images marked as Auk images I can find; you didn't put any information on the page, and you tagged it as not having been renewed, which is not possible to be sure about for anything other than books with renewals before 1978, except by paying the Copyright Office or a lawyer to find out; it doesn't look like there's much certainty unless it is clear that there was no copyright notice (I don't know if there's any way to determine: I think copies of individual issues not binded in a book would be needed). —innotata 22:23, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've found a bunch more, which come after UK roads in searches, so take a long time to find; none of them are ones you've uploaded, and all look like they could have been first published elsewhere—they're photos of ornithologists. —innotata 22:33, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm finding them, but how exactly did you check earlier? —innotata 22:39, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Copyright renewal records, as for other photos, see the ones here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campephilus_principalis FunkMonk (talk) 22:44, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Which copyright renewal records? They could be under periodicals or entries in periodicals, and could be in any year from 27 to 29 years after; I'm not sure the copies I linked have all of the records categorised under the expected order. —innotata 22:49, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
