Over on the ID Frontiers mailing list (BIRDWG01) , there is a very
interesting thread on a current article in the Auk on introgression in bird
species and its role in promoting genetic variability and speciation in
birds.  Of particular interest to this list is the fact that the putative
Ross's Goose in Ashtabula is cited prominently as a case in point.  Many
readers of this list will find this discussion illuminating.

Cheers,

Bob
