Well, Tom's post reminds me of a somewhat similar article in a birding
magazine some decades ago (sans profanity).
I still remember this one every time I see this bird, which is often:
"Violent-green Swallow"
accompanied by a drawing with a very fierce-swallow expression. I googled
this name but could not find the drawing, although quite a few people do
misspell 'Violet'.
One brighter observation: there is apparently no real danger of the
d***-a** f***** who created the dumb-bird page moving to our fair state.
Reference his Western Meadowjerk. Just another reason NOT to change our
state bird.

My daughter just sent me a link to the site Field Guide to Dumb Birds of
North America https://dumbbirdsfieldguide.tumblr.com/ . It is good for a
lot of laughs. The text despite its X-rated nature is spot on and is
accompanied by some primitive but accurate species renditions. It’s
definitely a good read after getting soaked looking for a rare bird that
never shows up.
