Which of the following is the correct spelling of a CO bird named after a professor of English at Edinburgh University in Scotland, who was also a naturalist, and who helped none other than John James Audubon with his writing?
a) MaGillvray's
b) McGillivray's
c) MacGillivary's
d) MacGillivray's
e) McGillvrey's
f) MacGillavrey's
g) MacGillvray's
Hint: the bird was named (by Audubon) after William MacGillivray. Maybe Bob Righter will be kind enough to tell us more about this interesting man, who certainly deserves us getting his name right, in a future piece for "Colorado Birds". I hope so.
