Hi,
I guess this is the place for this question. I have noticed that the names of birds generally follow a certain format. Such as the following examples:
Western Wood-Pewee
Olive-sided Flycatcher
Band-rumped Storm-Petrel
Anyway my question is why is the word after the hypen lowercase if it is in the first part of the name, and uppercase if in the second part?
Thanks,
Chet
