Hello, Birders. Yesterday evening, Sunday, July 5, while Kei and Hannah and the rest of Boulder County were watching the World Cup, Andrew and I ventured in the rain to the St. Vrain River 63rd/61st Street crossing near Hygiene, Boulder County.
There we saw a pair of *red-eyed vireos* (one singing, one watching on) while a thirdling sang off in the distance a little ways; so three red-eyed vireos. Also a single, solitary, unitary, female *orchard oriole.* And a stunning male hybrid *indigo bunting x lazuli bunting.* First detected by song, the bird sang the basic song of a lazuli but with the exuberance of an indigo; appearance-wise, it was indigo (more of a cerulean, really) all over, without a hint of rufescent on the breast or elsewhere, and with a gleamingly white belly and vent.
