Wow! First time that I've knowingly seen this hybrid, though I knew it was possible - given that both Easterns and Westerns had been breeding at this golf course in years past.
Note: bluish throat, rufous on side of neck and rufousy splotches on otherwise blue upper back. Overall brighter blue of an Eastern Bluebird, but darker gray belly and vent of a Western Bluebird.... I will work to get photos in bright light

If you disagree, please let me know, including why.

Douglas! Possible hybrid of cormorants. Other (better) photos at https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/173537419, https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/173492295, https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/172933837.
