@loren Yeah, I feel weird. I have been waiting for The New Names with bated breath, so it’s a longer impatient transitional period. I do feel like it’s a good point that South & Central America hosts the birds a bunch, and birders/scientists there use the English names plenty because the Internet is so Anglophone: so I think those stakeholders should have a part in the process. But was that already in the plan? If not, why not? Why just screeching brakes? Ugh.
