And just to piggy back on this, if we're specifically talking about the
Golden-winged Warbler and Blue-winged Warbler conundrum, I'd recommend
entering this complex in as Blue-winged/Golden-winged Warbler. To make the
entry easy for people (so they don't have to "add a species"), this field
is now available on eBird checklists for Garrett and Allegany counties.

Note the difference between Blue-winged/Golden-winged Warbler and
Blue-winged X Golden-winged Warbler (hybrid). The first could be either
species (including a possible hybrid) and the second is a "definite" hybrid.
