Aaron,
Thanks so much for the reference! I should have known you could put your
finger on it. I had finally come up with Great Tit but couldn't find any
references there, either. So, tit mouse will be the next search if I can
find the quotation on the web.
Again, thanks so much for your kindness...
Cordially,
Bob
