Late in the day there was a lot of chirping go'in on at the feeder and low an behold there were 4 or 5 of my mystery birds. One was a bright red male acting like a Dad so I am going with a boat load of immature birds. It makes more sense to me now, the Arizona thing not so much. Thanks for your input Dave.<br /> Mike Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07728910024544907620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553998527275861247.post-50727012176426293292018-09-15T15:05:08.621+01:002018-09-15T15:05:08.621+01:00Hi Mike, I am not aware of any records north of Ar...Hi Mike, I am not aware of any records north of Arizona though it would not surprise me greatly if it occurred rarely in other southern states where Pyrrhuloxia has occurred. Both species are relatively sedentary so I think the opportunity for one (let alone three) hybrids turning up in NE Pennsylvania must be very remote. I wonder if your birds could have been immature Cardinals or Cardinals with some kind of abnormality? If you still think they were hybrids then worth emailing us your photo so we can have a look.

I took pictures that I wish were crisper but it is a bird we've never seen here before. Northern Cardinal x Pyrrhuloxia.
