I have created an online petition in rebuttal to the AOS leadership momentous decision to change all eponymous bird names & no matter your position on this issue, I hope that you will take a minute to read it and if so inclined to also sign it. We in the U.S. believe this is a world-wide birding matter.
A few notes before signing.
After you sign change.org takes you to a screen asking for a donation. Change.org is free and any donations received are not for this cause. I am not fundraising.
Instead, click on “No, I’ll Share Instead” which will take you to a page that gives you multiple ways to share the petition but most importantly also provides a comment box on the right side of the page. If you want to include a membership or organizational affiliation this is the place to put that information along with any other comments you may want to share.
If you get a verification email from change.org please make sure to respond, otherwise your signature won't count.
The link to the petition is here: Sign the Petition
