re: vernacular names

Yes, I agree with you.  This is more fun than memorizing precise terminology! 
 I am not the world's best writer, and I don't think my message conveyed what 
I was trying to say:  Not that I think you all must call the bird a certain 
"correct" name (I still have mixed feelings about this...), just that it 
really does cause real confusion sometimes when you don't (as opposed to 
hypothetical confusion, I guess!).  Anyway, thanks for the reply, and good 
birding to you,
Bill
and for Ian May, I will submit our Bush Thick-Head (Cutitalldown georgii) for 
his list.....
