It hardly seems an honor to the memory of Louis Agassiz Fuertes, the Cayuga Bird Club's first president, for the eBird team or the city or the authors of the waterfront plan to preempt his club's authority regarding the proper name of the sanctuary that he dedicated on its behalf as "Renwick Wildwood". If you want the name changed, I think you should petition the Cayuga Bird Club.
