(Portland, OR)  --  The Audubon Society of Portland has a new name.  It's now the Bird Alliance of Oregon.  The move to rename the nonprofit to reference birds stems from controversy over the racist legacy of naturalist John James Audubon, for whom the organization is named.  Although the National Audubon Society's board of directors opted to keep the name, some local groups decided to ditch it.  After public outreach, Oregon officials decided to follow other former Audubon organizations including Chicago, Detroit, San Francisco, and Madison, in adopting the Bird Alliance name.
