It's Banana KWIT (also Grass KWIT) -- at least that's how the folks in the 
countries where these species occur pronunce it :-)

Subject: [MDOSPREY] Yard birds and pronunciation question (extralimital)


Morning all,
 Just heard Yellow Warbler and Common Yellowthroat in or near the yard, 
two FOY's here.

A question for those more knowledgeable in world birds; Bananaquit, is it 
pronounced "banana keet" or "banana kwit"? Same for grassquit, "grass 
keet" or "grass kwit"? Just trying to settle an argument (well more of a 
dispute really).

Thanks,
