I will wait for these finches to turn into something else. Meanwhile, I only see the environment favoring one thing over another.
Earthworms don't do so well in the desert, either.

Bills can change from year to year in a single bird. Puffins do it regularly, as a mating signal. I believe I've read about it happening in response to environmental changes too.
If you find that the population of Japan averages three inches taller than they did seventy years ago, does that mean that the Japanese are evolving?

It's almost like nature favors ... you might almost say selects ... one trait over another. Sort of a natural preference. Or a natural leaning-that-way-ness. Or maybe even natural selection.
