Vicarious plea...I'm greatly enjoying your Blog. Vicarious pleasures. I would like to point out that bird names are so established that one can use common names such as American Robin and not rely on scientific names such ar Turdus migratorius. This would not be true if you were biking for ferns or lizards or anything other than birds. There is a convention to capitalize common names so one knows if one is referring to a Little Bunting or a small sized bunting which would be a little bunting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
