As everyone knows, it's a "bifcus"...


Once upon a time there was an ornithologist working on Cuckoo-shrikes

I assume he was American. Only problem, he found a Black Graybirdsomewhere, no grey on it. Not a bad name generally though.Or what is wrong with the generic Coracina? Easier to pronounce thanGerygone. Meanwhile, I have known the BFCS as Bifcus since I was twelve.
