Too much and none of it either accurate or relevant!

I'm definitely not streetwise enough! Despite Googling 'Morninglight', I'm still none the wiser...

(Btw, I'm conscious that such papers don't strictly concern 'Bird Taxonomy and Nomenclature', but this forum nevertheless seems the most appropriate place within BirdForum to post about avian evolution in a wider sense.)
