Today while driving the backroads of Holmes Co., Tim & I found a totally white
red-tail hawk. It is not a true albino as it had black eyes, but there was
absolutely no other color on him. GORGEOUS!! We are pretty sure it is a
red-tail because the shape, size, flight pattern, perching posture & habitat are
all consistant with red-tail. But it didn't even have a shadow of a patagial
mark.
The location is Holmes Co., just east of the intersection of Clark Twsp Rd. 152
& Mechanic Twsp Rd. 117. A good Holmes Co. map will probably best serve anyone
who wants to look for it. The best directions I can give is to take State Rt
643 to New Bedford (not really a community but it is on a county map), on the
Holmes Co./Coshocton Co. line. From SR 643, go northwest on Holmes CR 600 to
Holmes CR 59 (angles off to the left). Go a short distance to Clark TR 152 on
the right & turn right. After crossing TR 151 start watching for the bird.
May not be an unusual species but it sure is an unusual bird.
