    The American Ornithological Society is going to rename dozens of birds
    to give them names that are less racist and mysogonist and more
    inclusive. For example the yellow bellied sapsucker will become the
    Dylan Mulvaney cum sucker.

    What will Democrats call their bird?

    Did you really have to repost all that drivel simply to call out a cross-posting troll?

    OB Birds: It's November and I still have a female ruby throat
    hummingbird hanging around. I think it's the same one who has
    over-wintered here for the last two years. Most of my neighbors have
    taken down their hummingbird feeders because they expect they've all
    migrated by now. I've learned not to. :)

    Sorry! Did you really have to open it to see what the cross-poster said? You need more fiber! lol

    Turning lemons into lemonade a few years ago I ran across a book
    listing in a book catalog I get that explains how a lot of birds got
    their name. Some are obvious (hummingbird, woodpecker, cardinal) but
    not always so (junco, vireo, oriole). It seemed interesting and I wish
    I'd bought it now, possibly it's available on Amazon but I don't even
    remember the book's name now.

    It would be interesting to know! Such as why a bird called a purple
    finch is actually red. :)
