Get ready to say goodbye to a lot of familiar bird names, like Anna's Hummingbird, Gambel's Quail, Lewis's Woodpecker, Bewick's Wren, Bullock's Oriole, and more.

That's because the American Ornithological Society has vowed to change the English names of all bird species currently named after people, along with any other bird names deemed offensive or exclusionary.

I'd comment on the new names for the spotted warbler, and such, but then I'd get banned.

so i spend a lot of time in the outdoors, and bird IDing is a hobby i dabble in

i think there's a good argument to be made to rename some birds, especially the ones that are named something because of a particular circumstance/moment in time. having a name that better describes the bird, its habitat, features, etc., and standardizing that across the board, makes a lot of sense to me /shrug

Voted 3 because that's how many emojis from the title I like and use regularly.
