This evening, I saw a white hawk along Riverview Road. It was on the East
side of the road, just a bit north of Szalay's Farm. Has anyone else
seen it in that area? It was a truly stunning sight. I could not believe
it when I drove past---I immediately did an illegal U-turn and went back
to watch it, and thankfully it was cooperative and stayed for about five
minutes before flying away. I'm assuming it's an albino red-tailed hawk,
though given the location it could possibly have been a red-shouldered.
I got a very good look at it, and the shape, size and bill were consistent
with a red-tailed. There were some brownish feathers showing from
underneath, but it was pretty close to pure white.
Also, in a small creek along the towpath near the Ira Beaver Marsh
I saw a waterthrush. I'm not sure if it was a Louisiana or a Northern,
as I don't have much experience with waterthrushes, but based on
my field guides it looks more like a Louisiana. Is this an unusual sighting
in the CVNP this time of year?
