Northern cardinal / pyrrhuloxia hybrid

Northern cardinal / pyrrhuloxia hybrid

At the Sonoran Desert Museum in Tucson, a captive adult Cardinal mated with a captive adult Pyrrhuloxia, and hybrid offspring of this original pair now populate the aviary and freely interbreed with one another. The hybrids share characteristics of both species, with intermediate plumage (greyer than Cardinals, redder than Pyrrhuloxia) and slightly curved beaks.
