......While on the pronunciation kick, how should we pronounce Gerygone, and why? "Jer-riggonnee"?, "Ger-riggonnee"?, "Grigg-onnee"? I think it's best pronounced "war-bler". However, I use "Jer-riggonnee". It's taken a long time to get used to it and I ain't changing now. Niven ************ Niven McCrie http://www.taunet.net.au/niven/ P.O.
