The American Ornithological Society is going to rename dozens of birds
to give them names that are less racist and mysogonist and more
inclusive. For example the yellow bellied sapsucker will become the
Dylan Mulvaney cum sucker.
What will Democrats call their bird?

Did you really have to repost all that drivel simply to call out a
cross-posting troll?

OB Birds: It's November and I still have a female ruby throat
hummingbird hanging around. I think it's the same one who has
over-wintered here for the last two years. Most of my neighbors have
taken down their hummingbird feeders because they expect they've all
migrated by now. I've learned not to. :)

Turning lemons into lemonade a few years ago I ran across a book
listing in a book catalog I get that explains how a lot of birds got
their name. Some are obvious (hummingbird, woodpecker, cardinal) but
not always so (junco, vireo, oriole). It seemed interesting and I wish
I'd bought it now, possibly it's available on Amazon but I don't even
remember the book's name now.

It would be interesting to know! Such as why a bird called a purple
finch is actually red. :)
