Wader Nomenclature

After a heated debate on the issue of common vs scientific names of birds and other organisms, it was decided by the list members to adhere to the following: common names should be followed by the corresponding scientific name when first mentioned in the text, and the common name can be used thereafter throughout the text. This is also the standard that most of the technical publications dealing with birds use.
