You're fine with the Swift & the Jay. From Wikipedia;

" It was named for the American scientist William Sansom Vaux."

"This bird is named after the German naturalist Georg Wilhelm Steller, the first European to record them, in 1741.[13][14] Johann Friedrich Gmelin formally named the species after Steller in the 13th edition of Systema Naturae (first published in 1788)."

Kirtland's Warbler, named after an Ohio doctor. Almost extinct at one point, we have a habitat restoration area not far away which seems to be working - probably five males but I was told it takes two or three years before the females will arrive.

I never got close but other birders did (early morning, ISO 22k).
