Subject: [labird] Swimming upstream. In light of the US movement toward removing eponymous bird names...
...this is an interesting bit of news:

Just take a look at these new names.

Should we suggest an immediate and careful review of all of the characters of the individuals whose names are being used for these new species or do we need to wait a few decades before subjecting them to a thorough analyses for character perfection?

But seriously, what a contrast in naming policy and practice!
