A hybrid warbler affPhoto("hybrid warbler", "221parulinehybride.jpg", "", "400", "281"); ?> Have you met the 2000 hybrid? When two different species mate, they produce hybrid offspring, combining the dominant features of both parents. A hybrid bird hatched at the Biodôme in spring 2000. affPhoto("female yellow-rumped warbler", "221parulinecroupionjaune.jpg", "", "320", "220"); ?> A male black-and-white warbler and a female yellow-rumped warbler produced a male “2000 hybrid warbler.” It looks like a black-and-white warbler, but has yellow feathers on its rump. This combination of both parents’ main features clearly shows how the hybridization occurred. affPhoto("male black-and-white warbler", "221parulinenoiretblanc.jpg", "", "320", "168"); ?> For more details, check the Montréal Biodôme Website.
