A man's house is his castle ...

and you are asking a guest of yours to re-arrange your home furniture. I would think twice before I chime in, and I did think twice and I am chiming in.

Personally, I care less about the title than the content. The title may be the head(line), but the content is where we are supposed to find the poet's heart, and his heart matters most. Let the head take care of science. The heart always owns poetry and therefore also the poet's voice.

The poet's voice that I heard was all about this: Eureka!

Suddenly, the poet stumbled upon something when he caught a bird call, which let his imagination fly, no pun intended. There he was, realizing that all the flux he bothered so much about was wholly and solely his own making. The bird call was a wake-up call, period. No wonder he fixed on the sky which came across as what stillness looked like and felt like. 

Eureka! It's the Archimedes moment.  It's a science moment, of course.

Here we are. Thanks to the poet, we found a moment of science and poetry coming together, which was a union (or reunion) of heart and mind (head). Still wonder why ornithology is part and parcel of the title?

My "comment" is worth two cents, I know.
