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? Dennis Preston 22709mgr[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE]msu.edu
