I don't know about Louisiana, but Picone may have trouble sorting out the
distribution of Cardinal and Redbird if it's anything like it was in the
Louisville area in the 40's and 50's. Cardinal was the fancy ('official')
term; Redbird was the ordinary term; and the old-fashioned ('full') form was
Cardinal Redbird.
I remember quite a few of these standard+local combinations (although there
was no 'dragonfly snake doctor'). Does anybody have others?
