Just watching the current discussion on Tweeters on *Steller's Ja*y,
reminded me to google George Wilhem *Steller.* This German
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botanist>botanist, zoologist, physician and
explorer is credited for discovering Alaska. He had five different animals
named after him. His name is commonly misspelled as "stellar" like in solar
system. If anyone is interested, you may want to look at Wikipedia for some
interesting facts on him. I actually share the same birth date with him -
just a couple or so centuries later! Hope that I did not offend anybody!

Good Birding!
