[Tweeters] Amerigo Vespucci and the biggest loser

[Paula Crockett/Martin Gibbins via Tweeters]

Hi Tweeters,I get why the powers that be want to change the names, but who does this exercise benefit? It’s seems unlikely that it will help birds. Has anyone done a cost-benefit analysis? In this era of habitat loss, climate change, etc., it strikes me that the birds would be better served by directing that funding toward bird research and conservation.Paula Crockett Lake Joy, Carnation, WA
