Wheatear
''Not to be confused with "ear of wheat"''.
The wheatears are passerine birds of the genus ''Oenanthe''. They were formerly considered to be members of the thrush family, Turdidae, but are now more commonly placed in the flycatcher family, Muscicapidae. This is an Old World group, but the northern wheatear has established a foothold in eastern Canada and Greenland and in western Canada and Alaska.
==Etymology==
The name "wheatear" is not derived from "wheat" or any sense of "ear", but is a 16th-century linguistic corruption of "white" and "arse", referring to the prominent white rump found in most species.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/wheatear )〕
''Oenanthe'' is also the name of a plant genus, the water dropworts, and is derived from the Greek ''oenos'' (οίνος) "wine" and ''anthos'' (ανθός) "flower". In the case of the plant genus, it refers to the wine-like scent of the flowers. In the case of the wheatear, it refers to the Northern wheatear's return to Greece in the spring just as the grapevines blossom.
