Have you noticed that most bird species have English names that consist of two words (for example, Yellow Warbler), some have three words (Lesser Black-backed Gull), and some have names that consists of only one word (for example, Osprey). Today’s question is this: How many bird species that we see regularly in NJ have English names consisting of only one word? I found twenty of them. For bonus points, there are six other one-word species that have appeared in NJ, but don’t appear here every year.
Take your time, think about it, write down all your answers, and in a day or so you can look at the entire list by clicking here.
