Birdwatching throwdown! What is the only North American bird to have the same Genus, species, and common name
Posted on April 11th, 2009 1 commentOk, so birdwatching and throwdown together is sort of like pocket protector and GQ, but try and answer it. I will post one additional detail hint as tiem goes by and no one has answered it. First correct answer gets the ten points, or if there is no right answer, I'll let humor be my guide.
Not the crake, though which crake are you talking about, out of curiousity?
There is a Corn Crake, but many of the other birds in that genus are known as rails in the US.
