(Totally had to look up the term for that phenomenon) I've experienced this so much!! Thanks for actually finding the scientific term for it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I have seen and photographed at least 9 species with Common in their name, but as usual, my poor organization skills makes it hard for me to find them all.

GracesWarbler Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 My Common Yellowthroat. When I finally got a good look at this bird, I was disappointed by the "common" name. How about the "Rare Spectacular Yellowthroat"? You're not common to me, bird. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolina Wrens are scare in my area. If you go like an hour or two south though they are really common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly my point, a bird might be really common in one spot, and two hours away you can't find one. Just because a bird is common around you does not mean it is so in other places. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
