Leucistic red-tailed hawk

Big crops, but a very interesting bird. I had been trying to see it for a few years. Finally as I was saying to others, this is where we are supposed to see it. ( not seeing it) Then suddenly it flew across the road in front of us. Lucky day.

Beautiful, great color and composition

Wow wonder what odds are of seeing one of those! Great catch.

What an amazing looking bird, Rex, and great shots of it, despite the big crops. Wonderful that you got to see and photograph it. A unique bird!

Perserverance pays; well done, Rex.

Sure makes a difference in the look on a larger bird!

Thank you, everybody.
Miles, I don't know the odds, but I have seen at least a half dozen plus different species of birds like this and one partial deer.
Gail, you're right. I was birding today and telling fellow birders, that were with me, when I got this bird, about your leucistic dark-eyed junco. They are fun to see.

Great find a photo Rex, patience, really is a virtue

nicely done Rex

Very neat shots, Rex, an interesting looking bird. So much for the theory that such birds don't live long!

Thats a cool looking Hawk, great catch!

I didn't expect this back. Thanks everybody. Ian, I agree with you, but It is pretty much a top predator, so that probably saves it.
