Subject: [Tweeters] Re: Capitalization of Bird Names

I'm also an editor (of medical journal articles), so maybe this point will help: capitalized names are easier to attract the attention of the reader.

I find that capitalized bird names stand out better against the background print, and if an article mentions a bird I'm interested in then I'm more likely to want to read the full article.
