"The Lazy Naturalist" is a game about identifying animals whose common names reference other animals. I call it "The Lazy Naturalist" because it's as if whoever named the animal couldn't be bothered to come up with a descriptive or original name, so instead, they just referenced some other animal.

The subtitle of Jackie Higgins’ book Sentient: How Animals Illuminate the Wonder of Our Human Senses , aptly sets forth her thesis – though the “wonder” it refers to could equally well be used to describe animal (not just human) senses, as she shows in fascinating detail. Sentient is a fine addition to that field. __.

And yes, of course you missed my reference to somebody determining the mitochondrial genome of the species. A rather not very interesting fact about this species is that the scientific name canifrons – rather than hinting at the bird’s crest – refers to the species’ grey forehead. Then, on to nuthatches.

Being referred to as a raven parent is grim, because this is a rather strong insult paired with a damning judgement of your parental qualities.

Mark Spahn, a longtime reader of my AnalPhilosopher blog, thinks it’s question-begging to use “who” (instead of “that”) to refer to animals. The question (presumably) is whether animals have moral status, i.e., whether the interests of animals must be taken into account in our deliberations. My usage reflects my belief.

The book is chiefly about how people have conceptualized and studied birds, but there is an underlying theme, the changing ways in which our Western culture has viewed animals, nature and God.
