Field Guide Requirements-- some thoughts

["Frank O'Connor" <>]

I don't think that colour charts would be useful.  There don't seem to be 
any standards in naming based on colour.  Colour changes depending whether 
it is in the sun, shade, etc.
Look at RED.  Red Knot, Red-capped Parrot, Red-capped Plover, Red-capped 
Robin, Red-winged Fairy-wren, Red-backed Fairy-wren, etc are all different 
shades.
RUFOUS - Rufous Whistler, Rufous-throated Honeyeater, Nankeen (Rufous) 
Night Heron are all different shades.
