yes, but the library user looking up either the European or American robin is probably going to use the term "robin" - and most people don't even realize there's more than one kind.
I suspect most libraries would be hard pressed to have even one whole book on the robin, so they wouldn't need a longer heading.

Hi perodicticus! If you enjoyed David Lack's The Life of the Robin, then try Swifts in a Tower. Both wonderful. Like many great natural history writers, he retained the fresh outlook and open approach of an amateur.
