Solitaire Astronomer Pierre-Charles Le Monnier added a few constellations to the southern sky between 1776 and 1792. He published a paper containing amongst others a constellation of a bird resembling a rock thrush known as the solitaire of the Philippines. Historian R.H. Allen disputes the identity of the bird, claiming it is similar to a Dodo. To confuse the bird's identity further the British scientist Thomas Young renamed the constellation the Mocking bird on his star map of 1806 and on other maps astronomer Alexander Jamieson changed it in 1822 into Noctua, the Night Owl.
