greglasleyDescription
The first 4 images are of a mature male. The last 6 images show a HY female with an aberrant pale bill. 4 or 5 migrant Townsend's Warblers were netted this date.
upupamartin and I have a close friend and colleague who lives in upper Madera Canyon in the Davis Mountains of west Texas at about 6300 ft elevation. He is a biologist and exceptional birder and naturalist as well as a bird bander with 40+ years experience. We spent about 24 hours on this property. This entire area is private and not open to the public.

A few people told me this is Steller's Jay x California Scrub Jay Hybrid.
But at the same time I think it looks very similar to Woodhouse's scrub jay.
Pinned location is just for general location, this bird is found in my backyard and I don't want to reveal my location. I live in Sunshine Hills tho.
