Gather 'round for storytime, kids! Many intellectual giants <cough [bots] cough> this week losing their fecal sacs over the @AmOrnith decision to replace eponymous names for birds. "You're erasing history" they cry. Let's explore some history with #BachmansSparrow. 🧵1\12

@JERutter Merry Christmas, Happy Festivus, and keep up the good work in 2024. Bird names for birds!
@JERutter Merry Christmas from me at the #ontariofeeders!
I believe my holiday yard wishlist is perfectly reasonable and modest: 1 Evening Grosbeak 1 Common Redpoll 1 Junco subspecies that isn't slate 1 Purple Finch 1 flock of 37 Pine Siskins
A thoughtful response from Dr Denis Lepage: Les oiseaux ne sont pas des plaques commémoratives: I used deepl translator to share some of Denis' response. I highly recommend that you translate and read it and Michel Gosselin's earlier comments tendornqc.quarto.pub/blog/posts/p23… @JERutter
Rivoli’s Hummingbird -> Ravioli Hummingbird
An excellent thread! I believe I said in an interview somewhere on the subject that when I was a kid I kinda thought eponym names kinda sounded like wizard names, and honestly until I started researching them for BN4B that was still the case...
Gather 'round for storytime, kids! Many intellectual giants <cough [bots] cough> this week losing their fecal sacs over the @AmOrnith decision to replace eponymous names for birds. "You're erasing history" they cry. Let's explore some history with #BachmansSparrow. 🧵1\12
So excited to buy new field guides with the updated bird names!
Concerned about #erasure? What were the names of the people Audubon and Bachman bought and sold? Where were they from? What were their hopes and dreams? History re-written? Do you mean like this? (12|12)
So where is the erasure? Where is the rewritten history? There is none. The ornithological history still exists. It's being added to, not rewritten. 11/12
Now, however, there will be another chapter in this history: From 1886–mid 2020s, the official common name for this species was Bachman’s Warbler. Then it became something else. We get to be a part of that living, evolving history. 10/12
This does not #erase the #history of #ornithology; it builds on it. #Bachman’s role in providing the source specimens for #Audubon’s description remains historical, as does Audubon’s gesture to honor his friend by attaching his name to it. 🤷♂️ 9/12
By approximately 2026, Bachman’s Sparrow will have a new, official, common name in English, e.g., “Pinewoods Sparrow”. 8/12
On 1 November 2023, @AmOrnith announced its plan to replace English common names for all species under its purview carrying eponymous names. The AOS estimates that approximately 80 species will receive new English common names (scientific binomials will not be affected). 7/12
In response, activists (e.g., @BirdNames4Birds) called upon the @AmOrnith to replace #eponymous names for #birds. Since 1886, the AOS has served as the naming authority to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature for Western Hemisphere birds. 6/12
A primary barrier expressed was that the names of the birds we study often celebrated historical figures who are vilified by Black, Indigenous, and other #ornithologists and #birders of color. 5/12
In the 21st Century, multiple #ornithological #societies engaged in discussions and conducted surveys to better understand the perceived barriers to participation in ornithology among under-represented #ethnic and #cultural groups. 4/12
Both Audubon and Bachman owned enslaved people, and both bought and sold people throughout their lives. A Lutheran minister, Bachman once wrote “… our defense of slavery is contained in the Holy Scriptures.” 😬 [Cringe City, population: those two] 3/12
In 1833, John James #Audubon described and named Bachman’s Sparrow for his friend John Bachman who provided Audubon with some specimens he had obtained. (Of course, the species had already been described by M.H.C. <Hinrich> #Lichtenstein in 1823, but oh well.) 2\12
Gather 'round for storytime, kids! Many intellectual giants <cough [bots] cough> this week losing their fecal sacs over the @AmOrnith decision to replace eponymous names for birds. "You're erasing history" they cry. Let's explore some history with #BachmansSparrow. 🧵1\12
