Just one more thing, thanks for filling in all the fields and entering the scientific name, however when writing the name, the genera -Turdus - is always capitalized (as you've done), however the first letter of the species - migratorius - is never capitalized, it's always a small letter. It's kinda weird I know, but that's the way science does it.
