$\Large\rm\color{gold}{Welcome~to~OpenStudy!}$ @kitkate $\Large\rm\color{blue}{@}$ The greenish warbler migrates from the Tibetan Plateau to India every year. During their migration, two species of greenish warblers met up, but didn't interbreed, therefore these birds are still two separate species. Because these birds are so closely related, it is rare that interbreeding didn't occur. $\Large\rm\color{red}{Try ~the~second~one~yourself.}$ Ref: http://www.zoology.ubc.ca/~irwin/GreenishWarblers.html
