Yes to both. As in it isn't the bird that has
changed. Apparently Elanus axillaris Latham 1801 is an older name than
Elanus notatus Gould 1838, so the "correct" name is the older name. For
whatever reason, the older name was not used for a long time, so Elanus
notatus made it into a lot of the books. Not an uncommon thing to
happen.
