I am pleased that you use the term "scientific" name and not "Latin" name, for there is, of course, a lot of Greek in the basis for some of these names.David M.

Like others, I found the cinnamon woodpecker particularly appealing. It's interesting to look at the scientific names and see specific epithets that also are used with plants. <i>Aestiva</i> was in a previous post; here, it was <i>farinosa.</i> It makes sense that such similarity would exist, of course. I've just never paid attention to it.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-22007906157782906022019-05-01T12:46:27.327-04:002019-05-01T12:46:27.327-04:00The birds, of course, are glorious.

The fact that so many North Americans visit Panama and other birding destinations brings money and employment as guides and accommodation to people that otherwise would probably have less or very little. I rarely use guides but the few times I have in West Africa it was so obvious that the type of employment was never available in the past to the parents of the mostly young people in the current crop. Also, these people show great pride in their countries and the special environments that they are so lucky in which to live and take great delight in sharing their treasures. <br /><br />Now go and set those nets.

We put out a feeder for the hummingbirds but have also planted flowers in our butterfly garden that they are supposed to enjoy. Hopefully they will go to the flowers too!
