Great birds with bad names.

"There's nothing sillier than real bird names", says British birder Patrick Baglee, "the irony being that any bird name someone makes up off the cuff (very often along the lines of "lesser spotted babbler") is rarely as silly as some of the actual names we use day in and day out". This Eastern tree climber possesses perhaps the only North American bird name that rivals the Ring-necked Duck in terms of nonsensicalness. When comedians mock birders, they inevitably invoke this medium-sized woodpecker. It's barely an annual occurrence in Kent these days (having once been a breeding bird in the county), so you could argue it is not truly a bird of Kent - just Kent-ish". [Extracted from the article]
