Observation of Alice Da Costa
f. Albiflorum
initially spotted by PJ Pulliam on Sunday also seen and photographed by Cameron Rutt on Tuesday, it has a band and is likely an escapee. Better photos can be seen at https://ebird.org/checklist/S184563370
Mallard x muscovy x Eygptian goose. Here's a link to evidence of mating. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/146800910
Odd bill color for a mallard! Maybe a hybrid? I'm not sure and would welcome input!
Possible hybrid of Ardea Alba x Ardea Cocoi
Extraño ejemplar... pareciera hibrido entre pato maicero y pato gargantilla (junto a los cuales apareció - y permanece - en la Bahia Encerrada)
Very odd looking bird, but the tail is wrong for magnolia, and the chest and face were a bit weird for Canada
Big city livin
Omphalotus nidiformis glowing at night behind a possum skull
Kingsmill Reservoir
Hybrid M.alba x M.cinerea
A melanistic bird with more dark pigmentation than normal.
Maybe an Hybridation between 2 species ?
This bird has a jizz reminiscent of a Mallard and is similar sized. Anyway plumage is puzzling. Hybrid? The lake is a known place for occasional exotic species. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers, John
This bird was suspected to be a hybrid of a Couch's x Western Kingbird. Observed by several Ohio birders, including Kenn Kaufman. A feather was apparently collected and sent to the Cleveland Museum of Natural history for genetic analysis.
An orphaned button. Lifeless on the cold, hard ground.
I hope they find their pin.
Feeding voraciously on a spicy wing from Pizza Hut...
Obs is for the big guy who got up and dipped.
Seen on a swan farm alongside Mallards, chickens, domestic Muscovy ducks, and peafowl. Possibly a hybrid between a Wood Duck and something else? I'm pretty baffled.
drake wood duck x Tufted duck hybrid, must be escape
This little guy appears to be a hybrid of Black-throated Green Warbler x Canada Warbler. I've shared these photos and the call recording with many folks and, so far, the balance of opinion is BTGW x CAWA hybrid. Feedback most welcome!
Presumed hybird Pine x Yellow-throated Warbler. Originally found by Kyle Matera on 09/22/2021 (please see that report here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/97373048) Relocated by Kyle and I on 10/06/2021. No vocalizations.
Is this a mallard or a hybrid with a mallard, I’m so confused
Mallard eclipsing (or intersex?!) male #1 on the Rhine in Basel - Jan 2022
Most likely a domestic bred hybrid that escaped or released
With Valeri Ponzo.
To other iNatters: please do not mark this as "not wild" in the attributes. I admit that the "Tamarac duck pond" is a veritable Noah's Ark of released waterfowl, but they swim -- and in some cases, fly -- around the lake. And many have been present for years.
@raymie has looked into the issue of the validity of "counting" escapees/releases -- which of course is greatly confused -- but it seems that an intentionally released bird is nonetheless countable by iNat standards. Several of these records are resubmissions because the original submission got shot down to "casual" based on a majority of "organism is wild" marked with an X.
Here's the discussion that @raymie found:

This is an intriguing duck, seemingly a hybrid between a shelduck and ... a Mallard? I'd appreciate comments on its identity.
Red-crested Pochard x Aythya sp. hybrid
J’ai l’impression que c’est un dendrocygne veuf ou mutant ou croisé
This white duck was in a flock of Blue-wing Teals
Adult individual with dark irises
Same melanistic individual as previously posted, better pictures!
Híbrido entre Chiroxiphia caudata e Antilophia galeata
Tres forte concentration de pigment jaune chez cet individu. Xantho.
This bird was discussed on the ABA blog (http://blog.aba.org/2014/09/open-mic-the-townsends-bunting-story.html), in Audubon magazine (https://www.audubon.org/news/the-ghost-john-james-audubons-past) and elsewhere.
Melanistic Song Sparrow. Singing male, ID'ed as Song Sparrow by song, and similar face pattern (visible in photo though muted due to melanism). The bird was also associating with a standard-issue SOSP, possibly a mate.
