what's in a name
I have always loved birds those amazing creatures of flight and song. As a child,
I kept a log in which I described in loopy handwriting the sight of a soaring red-tailed
hawk and the flute like song of the western meadowlark. Years later, when I took an
ornithology course, I was certain I wanted to become a biologist. However, my interest
waned immediately when I discovered that my textbook was not full of glossy pictures of
beautiful birds but long lists of unfamiliar, scientific names. I halfheartedly learned that
one magnificent birds of prey is called Buteo jamaicensis, and the fluting trill that woke
me on summer mornings belongs to the Sturnella neglecta. I almost closed the book on
birds until I realized there was another fascinating level to the study of birds the stories
and humor hidden in their scientific names
