First statues, now birds

[Chester86]

They are renaming birds whose name can be linked to the confederacy.  Because when I see a Hammond Fly catcher I am constantly reminded about:

Hammond’s flycatcher

 

Named after former U.S. Surgeon General William Alexander Hammond, who held deeply racist views about Black people and Native Americans.
 

I really take offense to “bald eagle” (🦅), and prefer follically challenged.  Hey, the past was bad (slavery, Indian treatment, and on and on), but where does this end?  It’s a freakin’ bird - no one knows what it is and no one cares what the name is.  Read for yourself and enjoy.

Maybe we should change some of these bird names to gender neutral names:
