www.audubon.org/news/how-pronounce-17-tricky-north-american-bird-names"A wise person once said that you should never make fun of someone for mispronouncing a word because it means they probably learned it by reading. Birders can relate. We read all kinds of unusual names in field guides but rarely get the chance to hear them spoken out loud. And it’s not like the birds come and introduce themselves...." My notes: I love birdwatching but I scratch my head wondering how they come up with the names, spellings, & then the pronuncation of these creatures!

Some of them are too hard to pronounce.
