reclaim the common name Anglewing

[wanda]

Dear Mike,

	The listing of standardized common names by NABA is on:
http://www.naba.org/pubs/enames.html

					Cheers, Wanda Dameron

PS  I'm in favor of Anglewing--much more descriptive.  Even NABA uses it
as the name of a publication--their Gardening News I think!
