 Peterson (1991. Condor 93:935-942) examined over 2600 specimens from southern and eastern California, southern Nevada and western Arizona, thus in the area where californica and woodhouseii are closest to one another.  Most intermediates came from the west side of the Owens Valley in eastern California, where the ranges of the two forms are separated by a barrier of unsuitable desert habitat.  Only a few specimens were intermediate and the rate of gene flow must be low.  These data might be used to support arguments both pro and con in relation to the taxonomic status of these populations.

 C. c. corone and C. c. cornix sometimes are treated as hybridizing species. 
*
They usually interbreed in areas of contact, as in s Scotland, Denmark, s Switzerland, n Italy and n Afghanistan, but the hybrid zones are narrow and relatively stable, although shifting slightly westward in Europe in recent years.  There are some areas, e.g. c Russia and Iran, where they are sympatric with little or no interbreeding.  This complex situation doesn't fit neatly into any species concept and these two taxa may be viewed either as two species, as subspecies of corone, or as "semispecies".
 Kryukov and Blinov (1994. J. für Orn. 135: Sonderheft p. 47) studied the zone of hybridization between the Ob and Yenesei rivers in Siberia.  The hybrid zone is ca. 150 km wide and introgression of plumage characters can be detected for 700 km.  Up to 30% of the birds in the center of the zone are intermediate and 11 color morphs were identified.  Genetic variability in allozymes and DNA increase within the hybrid zone.  There is no evidence of reduction of fertility or viability in mixed pairs, but evidence of positive assortative mating was found.  The two differ in migration behavior, wintering areas and habitat preferences.
 Rolando and Saino (1994. J. für Orn. 135: Sonderheft p. 48) analyzed the composition of breeding pairs in six areas in the alpine hybrid zone in alpine valleys and the Cuneo highlands of Italy. 
Their results indicate that positive assortative mating is present, i.e., mixed pairs are less frequent than would be expected if random mating was present.
