Snowbird calling in the apple tree
Nowadays everyone seems to call these birds "juncos." But when I was
a boy fifty or sixty years ago, my father always said "snowbird," a
name that seems to predate the use of "junco" for this North American
bird.
But, although I took university courses in etymology and lexicography,
I never took one in ornithology.
When I was younger, the snowbird struck me as the most boring of all
birds but I've come to like them now. I like the sounds they make,
buzzing and clicking and cellphone-ringing.
