That's ok, you might know already but just in case you don't. The common name can change depending where you are in the world, but the scientific name stays the same because every creature has a Latin name and Latin is the language of science.
With the Latin name (and sometimes with the common name) you can do a google search to verify any suggestions that people might make and chose the one you feel most fits your spotting :-)
Hello sara1981.
Thanks for the suggestion. I appreciate it. I'm not too up on the scientific names, I'm afraid. I will probably learn more, for joining this site. Open to all suggestions. Thanks again.
Cheers Telse.
