Nothing beats a good mnemonic. My neighbor just asked me what this bird is
over here ordering cheeseburgers. I gave a listen. What he was interpreting
as "cheeseburger, cheeseburger" us birders usually translate as tea-kettle,
tea-kettle. You have to give him credit. For a non-birder he was very close.
