[Tweeters] Bird Names - Common, Scientific, Regional

[Tom and Carol Stoner]

Once upon a time, I was given an old bird guide for eastern North American
species with an index that included scientific names and common and
regional names.  I had an enchanted evening discovering all the unusual
regional names for birds I knew or hoped to see.  Best time reading an
index I will ever have.

I will do my best to shift my poor brain to the new terminology when it
arrives.  But I will always mourn the passing of the Water Ouzel.  American
Dipper just doesn't "sing" for me, even though I use it, and I'm always
delighted to see the bird.
