Bird names redux

["Cas and Lisa Liber" <>]

Given bird namers propensity to 'fix' names, eg Scarlet Myzomela, making all
malurid wrens 'fairy-wrens' etc, I was musing on the White-faced Heron,
which is now an egret...but White=faced Egret sounds funny as egrets are all
white (well, they were), so Blue Crane--> Blue Egret? :) ...and Cattle
Heron? As the Cattle Egret is closer to Ardea?
