      The Great Tit, the Woodcock, and the Blue Footed Booby are safe. It’s largely things named after some people that really don’t deserve to be remembered in a positive regard. Cornell and Audobon are both in favor of it, though Audobon has not committed to changing their name. Audobon traded slaves to help finance his work, hence the call to change the name.
