birds
Thank you, Michael, birder by vocation, for quality articles such as Clay-colored thrush, for precision in taxonomy, names and history especially for the birds of North America and Middle America, for "a standard is better than none" and "Hyphens, and the cases of the letters that follow them, convey information and remove ambiguity", - you are an awesome Wikipedian!
