US-ILUS-INUS-TNUS-VA
2ISSF, red- and white-eyed. White is mostly limited to SE states. Plumage consistent. M/F differ, with male bluer and female browner. Boy is it hard to get clean shots of EATO. Saw on on the Blue Ridge coming back from TENN and was pre-camera but would have been the best shot as it was out in the open, good lighting, and belting.
