Bird Photo ‑‑ Green-tailed Towhee. Many common bird names are very distinctive and easy to understand. Think, Yellow-headed Blackbird or Painted Bunting, for example. The Green-tailed Towhee, on the other hand, isn’t exactly what I think of as fitting. Green in a bird is a female Painted Bunting or a Parrot.
In addition to the common names, all birds also have scientific names. New research and methods of identifying species often lead ornithologists to reclassify birds and change their scientific names. However, ornithologists also change common names of birds, making bird identification guides outdated and in need of replacement. Could it be that it is time to start a campaign to rename our little Green-tailed Towhee friend? And if so, could it become an Olive-tailed Towhee or maybe even a Red-capped Towhee? Remember you first saw it in the Moon. Happy birding!!
