Observation details

Appears to be a young Snowy hybrid with blue patches. Seems to have less blue than the previously reported hybrid Snowy in this area...wondering if this could be an F2 Snowy x (Little Blue x Snowy) that was parented by that previous hybrid bird...such that the blue is getting "diluted."
