North American warblers, on the other hand, often bear names of, at best, marginal utility. I’d prefer something descriptive like Flamboyant , Orange-throated , or Fire-throated Warbler , but feel free to incorporate other evocative nicknames like fire-brand and torch bird. Consider some examples: NAMED FOR OTHER BIRDS.

The first guide bearing the National Audubon Society imprint was Audubon Bird Guide; Eastern Land Birds , written by Richard Hooper Pough, and illustrated by Don Eckelberry. Interestingly, Chestnut-collared Longspur does appear under its brand-new official name, Thick-billed Longspur, though the description underneath uses the old name.
