Hi all
Funny seeing this post because in our iNaturalist project it keeps coming back with "Thick-billed Longspur (McCown's Longspur)" when I post bird photos and I sat there wondering "why do they have this?" ... now I know. Thanks Richard.
Thanks, Gary Lefko, Nunn

Forgive me if this has already been covered on Cobirds. I don't recall seeing it's discussion.The AOU decided last Friday to rename the bird-fomerly-known-as-McCown's-Longspur to the Thick-billed Longspur. I personally had not realized how controversial the bird's former namesake was. I would imagine we'll be seeing the change in eBird soon.Richard TrinknerBoulder
