How have bird words infiltrated the English language? What is the basis for the common and scientific names of birds? What slang expressions are used by and about birders? What are the funniest and most unusual bird names? What special words are used to describe types of birds and groups of birds? 

Bill Young will address these and many other questions in Birds and Words. 

Bill is the author of the book The Fascination of Birds: From the Albatross to the Yellowthroat. He is also the co-creator of the MPNature.com website, which is a comprehensive resource for people who visit Monticello Park in Alexandria, VA.
