Fellow Tweeters; Could you help me clear up a little confusion? On several
occasions this Spring I have been corrected in my pronunciation of two
species of birds...namely Lazuli Bunting and Vaux's Swift.
I have tried "Luzoolee" and "Lazleye", and also, "Voze" and Vawx's".
I have been corrected attempting to use all four versions, some of them
more than once! What's the scoop on this? Does it matter?

Thanks, Kort M. Jungel
