Many avian hybrid zones have demonstrated intrinsic selection against hybrids (Stetre et al., 1999; Bronson et al., 2003; Haavie et al., 2004), extrinsic selection for hybrids (Flockhart and Wiebe, 2008), or a combination of both (Good et al, 2000; Gay et al, 2008); yet, few of these studies have examined more than one hybrid zone within the same species complex.
