My head
reels at all these nomenclatural metaphysics! I feel strongly like retiring
from ornithology, if this is the stuff, and spending the rest of my days in the
peace of the wilderness with birds, and away from the dust and frenzy of
taxonomical warfare. I somehow feel complete detachment from all this, and am
thoroughly unmoved by what name one ornithologist chooses to dub a bird that is
familiar to me, and care even less in regard to one that is unfamiliar -----
The more I see of these subspecific tangles and inanities, the more I can
understand the people who silently raise their eyebrows and put a finger to
their temples when they contemplate the modern ornithologist in action
