I saw it a couple of weeks ago there

It’s one of the more common East Coast (of the USA) hybrids but this Snow Goose x Canada Goose has been seen for the last couple of weeks at Blackwater Wildlife Refuge in Maryland. #hybridbirds #birdhybrids

Hybrid Tricolored Heron x Snowy Egret in Playa Tamarindo Costa Rica on January 14, 2025. A beauty! Been looking for this combo for awhile…#Hybridbirds #Birdhybrids @ecovore.bsky.social

I would think Steller's Jay and Woodhouse's Scrub-Jay would be much more common than Townsend's Solitaire and maybe Anna's and the warbler.

Another relevant question would be the 5 most widespread (rangewise) birds?

Def not Mo Hawk

Flat-headed Hawk maybe

Good for them. Some others have refused, sadly. Maybe that will change.

The local chapter who will not be named...

Hey, I'm happy as long as it isn't Wilson's so win-win

Mainly because we cannot change the Latin name and that is good and descriptive in this case (American is descriptive too I guess)

And in a sharp knock on the "formerly known as" app, taking back our word: Bewick's Wren to Twitter Wren or Twittering Wren

Western Scrub-Jay to be obvious for WOSJ

Delicate Snipe for Wilson's as that is it's latin name: delicata

Oceanic Storm-Petrel for Wilson's as the Latin species name is oceanicus and this bird has a widespread, near global, oceanic range

Tricolored Phalarope for Wilson's

Northern Solitaire for Townsend's

And Arizona Thrasher for Bendire's (or Short-billed - either are good counterpoints for existing thrashers)

Short-billed or Arizona Thrasher (another nod to California Thrasher) for Bendire's

Maybe Frost Goose for Ross' Goose? It's colder sounding.
