My suspicion is that the Glen's stream of conscious monologue, whatever its intrinsic merits and pedantic linguistic failings, is now a relatively minor concern. The worldwide rise of populist proto-Fascism, and the concomitant decline of the organised left that usually checks this, will throw more immediate and threatening challenges to birds than specific taxonomy. It is worth wandering the corridors of Breitbart et al to get a flavour for the emerging paradigm's view of the natural world. Suddenly Senator Roberts, from Pauline Trump's Brown Shirts, looks mainstream. We may need to start worrying at the genus or ordinal level under their policies. Ciao
