Some bird names no longer fly. Host James Brown speaks with Indianapolis Star investigative reporter Sarah Bowman about the group behind this effort, Bird Names for Birds, and how they propose to make changes. The Cooper’s hawk, Townsend’s warbler and Bachman’s sparrow are all examples of birds named after someone. These names also represent and remember people “who often have objectively horrible pasts,” according to one founder of Bird Names for Birds.
