Okay so your question had me do some research. That research has concluded first that I should no longer go memory it isn't trustworthy any more:( Second this was from Logan County, CO and ebird confirmed it along with the one below as being Lazuli X Indigo Bunting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I’ve come up with is they do have dark eyes for a short time after hatching, so these just never changed. Second is they are “tripped out” and pupils are just massively dilated. The first bird I have a pic of the other eye, and it is also dark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 No photo sadly, but I was surprised to see a Black-capped Variant female YBSA right after banding a regular female! It seemed that there were three different sapsuckers using the same tree to feed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps some of the folks here can help with that. On 5/15/2021 at 7:49 AM, Avery said: American Wigeon x Mallard would be my guess Not with that dark bill.

That makes sense. The species are known to hybridize, and the flank pattern suggests shoveler. http://birdhybrids.blogspot.com/2015/12/american-wigeon-x-northern-shoveler.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a similar duck here in Augusta in December 2019/January 2020. I'm just linking this one, since it's the most horrible photo EVAH. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/196525751 This past January was another fun one. Blue-winged Teal x Northern Shoveler. Those Shovelers sure get around! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
