Description
We use names so often that few of us ever pause to wonder about their origins. What do they mean? And where did they come from? From the common starling to the many-colored rush tyrant, the names we have given to birds are some of the most vivid and evocative words in the English language. They can carry whole stories - of arctic expeditions, pitched battles between rival ornithologists or touching romantic gestures.
