Further to this string, we are not the only geographic area with names that
are prosaic or could be construed as unimaginative and uninspiring, but it
doesn't seemed to have stopped Europeans (who have Greater, Middle and
Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers; Thrush-Nightingales; lots of "something"
warblers) or Americans (Blue-Gray, Black Capped and Black Tailed
Gnatcatchers and 30 odd species of "something" sparrow) being enthusiastic
about birds and birding.  There's more than the names behind a lack of
interest.
Cheers
Tom Wilson
