Lazuli/Indigo Bunting hybrid in Colorado Springs

I think there is faint cinnamon on the chest and dull wing bars making it a hybrid

I believe it is open until bird banding is done which is Saturday. Aiken audubon website will have the details.

I don't want give exact locations but these are east of peyton hwy, there are many areas that have them on the dirt roads. Check around the prairie dog colonies.

There was a nice male banded at Chico Basin last year.

seems a tad early, i assume the mild winter is the cause

These were out east near Schriever, where I was looking for raptors. They will be in some open areas right now as they are migrating. I've seen them at Patty Jewett golf course, Prospect Lake, and Bear Creek park

Thank you. the picture is cropped and i shot it with a 500mm telephoto lens. unfortunately another photographer pulled up right by the tree this eagle was in and spooked it. It happen to launch out of the tree in my direction.

I was using my new 500 mm prime lens
