You have found a web site that answers the greatest number of questions I've ever had about birds: how to pronounce their names! Stan Arnold Glen Burnie blackrail@earthlink.net -----Original Message----- From: Sherry Peruzzi To: MDOSPREY@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM Date: Friday, June 14, 2002 11:03 AM Subject: [MDOSPREY] Bird name pronunciations On the various field trips at the conference (which was terrific -- thanks to all who worked so hard to make it happen!), I heard so many different pronunciations of the name of one particular warbler that, as a fairly new birder, I began to be afraid to say it out loud at all! Is it the Northern par-OO-luh? PAR-uh-luh? PAR-yuh-luh? PAR-yoo-luh? So this morning I did a little searching on the Internet, and turned up an interesting and amusing guide to bird name pronunciation. For any of you out there who are also uncertain about Parulas, Plovers, and the rest, this page is worth reading: http://birds.cornell.edu/crows/birdname.htm (Now if I can just remember what it says....)
