Observation details
Red-eyed X Cassin's Vireo, not currently available from eBird. Seen by all, heard by most, recordings and photos taken. Song intermediate between both, odd for an oscine hybrid. One might expect it to have learned one or the other of its parent species. Appearance mostly like Cassin's, but note longish, slender slightly curved blackish bill and yellowish untacs, both Red-eyed field marks. I've heard that John Sterling went to see the bird, found it, and concurred with our assesment of hybrid status, that is Red-eyed X Cassin's Vireo.
