Re: [cobirds] Response From the AOS to the Petition on Eponymous Bird Names

For anyone who wants to engage with or learn more about this process, see this note on the AOS blog post that Rachel Hopper linked to in the original post. It does seem like you have to be a registered attendee of the annual meeting to attend (I think).

AOS Public Forum on English Common Names at 2024 Annual Meeting in Estes Park

The AOS will be hosting a public forum on English common names for those attending our annual meeting in Estes Park, Colorado, in October 2024. At this forum we plan to provide an update on the current status of the pilot project as well as discuss some of the topics addressed above. We invite everyone to submit suggestions for discussion topics and potential formats for the forum itself using the online form below.

Subject: [cobirds] Response From the AOS to the Petition on Eponymous Bird Names

 

COBirders,

Posted with permission of the moderator.

I have had a response from the AOS to the Petition to AOS Leadership on the Recent Decision to Change all Eponymous Bird Names in the form of a letter to me and a public blog post. 

You can read their letter to me here: https://shorturl.at/aFHN8
