Hi Tweets-

I spent a few weeks in Chile last February where the white-crested elaenia
was one of the most common birds. It was a pleasure to watch these little
creatures at work. One thing I was not able to get an answer on was how to
pronounce elaenia (the Chileans call them fio-fios which is a pretty good
representation of some of their calls). Would some one please give me a
phonetic on elaenia?

Thanks
Mike
