Dear Ozbirders A couple of Charles Darwin questions for your amusement & my edification: (i) I don't have my Uruguayan field guide handy, so I'm having trouble working out what the Large Pampas Finch (Emberizsides jardicoola) is in modern terms. Charles Darwin brought this one down in Uruguay during his jaunt around the world. Any clues? (ii) The other of his specimens marked "Ammodramus manimbe" is clearly one of the North American "sparrows", though I'm unsure what the current synonym of A. manimbe is. Thanks in advance Lawrie Conole Project Officer Museum of Victoria Collection & Regional Services PO Box 666E Ph (03) 9669 9732 Melbourne Vic 3001 Fax (03) 9663 3669 AUSTRALIA Email <> |
