Ovenbird

[edit]

Redux, it seems that it should be the Hornero rather than the Ovenbird (the João de Barro is the F. rufus, I think). Any translation, of course, misses the fact that "João de Barro" could even be a person's name. Cheers, RodC 23:08, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Humm, looks like you're right :). I linked to the Ovenbird because of this website, which gave the name in English as "Ovenbird", so I went straight to our specific article. Interestingly, the "name in Spanish" given on the website is "Rufous Hornero", but I didn't think of looking up "Hornero", since they gave the name in English and it seemed to fit. I guess I should have double-checked by running a search on the scientific name as well...
On a somewhat related note, it would be highly unlikely for "João de Barro" to be a person's real name, although the last name "Barros" (with an "s") is a relatively common last name in Brazil (as in Alexandre Barros, the motorcycle racer). This particular combination is commonly associated with the bird, which is quite "popular" in Brazil. Cheers, Redux 01:08, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
