Harris's Finch

Harris’s Finch [now Harris’s Sparrow]
Fringilla harrisii, Audubon [now Zonotrichia querula]

“The discovery of this beautiful bird is due to my excellent and constant friend Edward Harris, Esq., who accompanied me on my late journey to the Upper Missouri river, &c, and after whom I have named it, as a memento of the grateful feelings I will always entertain towards one ever kind and generous to me.”

John James Audubon, Birds of America (New York: J.J. Audubon; Philadelphia: J. B. Chevalier, 1840-1844), vol. 7, p. 331.
