Eric Zetterholm was the first to photograph this nearly-white Red-shouldered Hawk, seen on The Sea Ranch.
We weren't sure what kind of hawk this was, but hawk expert Larry Broderick ID'd it for us. Here's another photo of this unusual hawk, taken by Eric.
Rozanne Rapozo located the hawk a few days later and got these photos.
So, you can see this hawk is not an albino as he/she does have some color. But this bird is mostly white on the back!
Thanks to Eric and Rozanne for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
We had a wild storm overnight - .55 inches in our gauge. There was lightning and thunder which shook the house! More rain coming in this evening, for which we are grateful.
