I recalled seeing some news articles about a hybrid between the Green Jay and Blue Jay found in someone's backyard!

I'm heading that direction to bird in April. It's not like I'd miss that flying past, but would be nice to have a heads up.

April is a better month than February for activity on the central flyways.

We're hoping to get quite a few locals and some migrants that we don't normally see east of the Mississippi.
