This question is for the more scientificly inclined birders, but I was wondering if we should be at all concerned about the strange combinations that come about due to the close proximity and "looseness" of the birds associating with each other at Lake Merritt?   Could they in any way be poluting their own gene pools?

p.s.   Laura, those were excellent pictures of the goldeneye hybrid.
