My husband Tim just called me from I-71 mile marker 216 exclaiming that he
saw an albino red-tailed hawk flying alongside the highway. I remembered
Doreene's email. Since I'm sitting here working at my computer I was able
to pull up her email and read it to him. I let him know that it's
leucistic and not albino - it's exciting either way. Apparently the hawk
is still hanging out in that area. Thanks for sharing Doreene!!

Subject: [Ohio-birds] Leucistic Red-tailed Hawk

Right on cue - heading north on I-71 at mile marker 216 (just south of
Medina)  we again spotted the leucistic Red-tailed Hawk. This bird is
almost all white. We saw it perched on the east side of I-71 and then
watched it fly across the highway to the west side. In flight we saw a few
dark feathers on the body. There is no red in the upper tail. Very striking
bird! It flew before we could photograph it.

Be assured that this is a hawk and not a Snowy Owl!!!!
