Since many, if not most of both Western and introgressed
Western/G-w populations as a whole actually appear to be
quite migratory, perhaps it would have been more relevant to
have cited Western's tendency to stick close to the coast
compared to G-w as making a hybrid vagrant more likely
than a pure Western in Colorado. The same principal would
apply.
