Sign the open letter to the American Ornithological Society. Barriers in ornithology for Black, Indigenous, and people of color, are not limited to membership fees. There are significant isolating and demeaning reminders of oppression, slavery, and genocide that reside within many of the English common names attached to birds in North America. Through the committees on Classification and Nomenclature (NACC and SACC), the AOS can play a crucial role in eliminating such barriers not only for ornithology but for recreational birding as well. Unlike recognized scientific names, the nomenclatural barriers of English common names exist for no reason other than tradition and comfort. They can be replaced without affecting science.
Follow @BirdNamesForBirds. Birds don't need eponymous/honorific common names. Bird names should be about birds.
