Changing Bird Names by Andy Kratter

The American Ornithological Society (AOS), the organization of bird scientists that determines the official names for North America’s bird species, both Latin and common names, announced this fall that it is embarking on a process to change the common names of birds that are named after people. Birds with eponymous names can be found in every section of a field guide, from the Bullock’s Oriole to the Ross’s Goose and Wilson’s Plover. Among sparrows alone, 11 different species are named after people.The changes will encompass approximately 152 North American birds and 111 South American birds. Dr. Andy Kratter has been Museum Operations Coordinator at the Florida Museum of Natural History in Gainesville for the past 28 years. There he does bird specimen preparation and manages the bird specimen collections and research permit applications.His wide experience before 1996 included field work in Peru, Trinidad, New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Guyana, Costa Rica, Bolivia, Nepal, New Zealand, Italy, Australia, and most of the U.S., particularly Florida, California and Louisiana. We appreciate Dr. Kratter's stepping up to present for us on this topic of so much interest to birders. He can be reached at [email protected] 33 people LIVE Cooper's Hawk Photo: Tamar Boorstin
