Observation details

County bird #224 for me. The head was nearly entirely red and didn't show obvious signs of being a hybrid, although the red breast wasn't as extensive like it is in some birds. It's difficult to see how much red it has due to its feathers being fluffed out. It spent most of its time staying in one spot while preening and itching its face.
