Was thinking about this today. Why is it that it's Canada Goose, Canada Jay, Canada Warbler, and not Canadian Goose, etc.? It's not America Crow or America Robin.

Maybe because if it was the proper country name it would have to me United States of America robin and United States of America crow... Not quite the same ring  That said, Mexican duck, Mexican jay, etc. are not Mexico duck and Mexico jay... |

Europe Starling, Europe/Asia Coloured Dove.
But then Virginian Rail, Connecticutian Warbler???
Interesting line of thought - thanks
