Hi Bill & NY Birders, You were right, I for one was interested.
I have only one question: what's the difference between a dark *morph* and a *melanic* individual? Does the word "morph" imply that it is a Mendelian trait (like Blue & Snow Geese), or at least genetically determined, whereas a "melanic individual" implies a developmental anomally or at least an environmentally mediated phenotype (such as Flamingos that are not pink due to dietary deficiencies)?
