Part VII - Not a Balrog...
You may have thought that this one had gone away, or I had run out of stupid bird names for your delectation dear reader.
Not so!
If you are Swedish, there is a good possibility that your name could amuse English speakers with an idiosyncratic sense of humour and this one has. Especially as it is tagged onto a daft species name.
I present to you Olrog’s Cinclodes, Cinclodes olrogi.

I nicked this photo from a dude called Ramon Moller Jensen
Not a bad looking fella, eh?
Olrog was a Swedish Ornithologist/naturalist who spend most of his time in Argentina, where the LBJ lives (as does Ramon).
For the Larophiles out there, Olrog also has a gull named after him, but you knew that right?
Thanks again to Bo Boelens!
