The Trogon family (and order, since the order only includes one family) is quite widespread, being found in all the tropical (and some subtropical) regions of the world. Males of both species share the odd distinction of bearing the colors of the Mexican flag, with a green head, white chest band, and bright red breast.

Tropical birding demands tropical birds, those families and genera unique to their latitudes rather than shared via migration across various climate zones. But these tropical ecosystems also harbor families that remind us by their very presence just how close we’ve come to the Equator and how far we are from the poles.

That’s right, I, along with my family and some really good friends, was camping. Our campsite was gorgeous North Lake State Park in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York, where the air is crisp, the forests are largely intact, and the bears force you to be careful about leaving food out when you go to sleep.

The male bird’s scarlet plumage and pert crest was reminiscent enough of a Roman Catholic cardinal’s colored robes to earn it, its family, and its genus the name they all share. The family Cardinalidae encompasses a plethora of New World passerines. The Northern Cardinal is literally the cardinal of cardinals.

But bear with me for a second: this post presents a different context for a different squirrel.

That fallacious family name seems to have encouraged all manner of knaves, dunderheads, and miscreants when time came to label species. North American warblers, on the other hand, often bear names of, at best, marginal utility. Appropriate appellations should respect the birds, not 19th century naturalists and their friends and family.
