    Poll - Do you agree or disagree with the AOS's recent decision to abandon the use of eponymous bird names?

    I suspect it's a quirk of avibase+google translate but, the Japanese name for Bendire's Thrasher comes out as 'Sand-colored thrush imitation'. Now don't tell me that's not a name that everyone would understand.... (perhaps switching the order of thrush and imitation)
