After reading that last post about North American birds with cities as their ‘first name’, we naturally have to ask the next question, don’t we??
How many species of birds in North America have ‘first names’ that are the same as a US state??
Actually, there are quite a few. I found seven species with California as their ‘first name’, and eleven with Hawaii or Hawaiian as their ‘first name’.
If we eliminate those two states, there are still ten more species. How many can you think of? Give it some thought, but if you need photographic clues after a while, click HERE.
For the bonus question, can you name the seven ‘California’ species? Click HERE for the answer.
