This is a welcome change
The American Ornithological Society says it will alter the names of North American birds named after humans, starting with up to 80 of them.
Yes! So exciting.
This change involves common names, not Latin names. Latin names are controlled by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, the American Ornithological Society has no power to change them
