The Birds of Linnaeus

7月 11, 2010 · Posted in 未分類 

It is no more than proper that a warbler, a thrush, a plover, a phalarope, a snipe, a tern, and a petrel all should bear the name of Swedish ornithologist Linnaeus. Still others are named for his contemporaries-for Audubon, who brought many other birds to light; for William Swainson, and for Dr. Bachman of Charleston; for the brother of Napoleon, birdman Prince Charles Lucien Bonaparte, for whom the Bonaparte’s gull is named.
