[obol] [OBOL] grey headed junco

[Tom Crabtree]

Rest assured I won't be around that long, Steve.  However, I have written
thousands of curmudgeonly comments that my web server is set to send out
automatically after I am gone when triggered by the right phrase.  That way
Jeff and others who are eating healthy & avoiding all the stuff that is bad
for you who will be around in 200 years can still have the pleasure (?) of
my [non]cheerful musings.  Now if I can get my fellow curmudgeons Dave &
Alan in on this OBOL will be guaranteed immortality (or did I put an extra
"t" in that?).

Unless curmudgeons like Contreras, Crabtree and Irons are still around in
200 years, the discussion won't be nearly as entertaining... can you guys
last that long?

Understand that the Junco complex is just that-complex.  It has caused
considerable debate among the experts for years.  They make the Galapagos
Finches seem stable and clear cut.  In some birds their parentage cannot be
adequately determined.  Some experts say there is one species of Junco
(there is no rationale for separating Yellow-eyed and "Red-backed" Dark-eyed
Juncos) while others say there are six or even seven species.  We are at one
point along the evolutionary parade and stating what is a "species" or a
"subspecies" or a "form" is a lot more difficult for some birds than it is
for others.  Wait 200 years and things should clarify. . . .
