I must admit that like Alan Knue, I've been really puzzled about the
specific technical case for the Iona bird especially being a hybrid. Solely
based on the tail feathers? Surely there must be more case for a hybird
than that. The looks I had of the birds' tail corresponded with what Jason
Rogers said, seemingly falling well within the range existing literature
depictions for McKay's.

And if Jason is wrong, where is the specific critique of his details? That
is what is needed right now for the hybrid school, and Tweeters seems the
perfect forum.
