It is the 139th most-seen of the 255 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hutton's Vireo in San Antonio on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hutton's Vireo is recorded against all the birds logged in San Antonio (109 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
