Forgive me if this has already been covered on Cobirds.  I don't recall
seeing it's discussion.

The AOU decided last Friday to rename the
bird-fomerly-known-as-McCown's-Longspur to the Thick-billed Longspur.  I
personally had not realized how controversial the bird's former namesake
was.

I would imagine we'll be seeing the change in eBird soon.
