leucistic red tail hawk

We have two different leucistic red tail hawks in the Magic Valley and I thought people might be interested in seeing photos of these cool birds. Quite interesting that we have two of them…
The bird on pivot was seen between Filer & Buhl yesterday by Charlotte Eberlein and so I went out and took a photo.
Kathy Eklund  has been seeing the bird in the tree

for a while in Springdale (near Burley).

Re: On SE Boise Nextdoor today

I think the eyes are dark – barred have those really dark eyes vs the yellow of a great gray (looks like some light from the camera reflecting in the eyes).  The frontal coloration favors barred,  size favors barred when compared to the size of the fence, bill color favors barred and the population density in this area favors barred.  IMHO 🙂

It’s definitely a Barred Owl. Great Gray lacks the white
underparts and white barring on the upperparts and has dark facial
discs.

as barred vs great grey.  I’m inclined to go with barred since
we have seen them at Shakespeare.

Re: On SE Boise Nextdoor today

Barred Owl … I have photographed them just off Parkcenter last year and there was one in the Christmas Bird count week in River Run I have one printed in metal on my wall that was taken in Barber Park. They have become a normal winter fixture in S.E. Boise. That said I have not seen one yet this year.

Re: Is crazy the NOISE…

Vaccine … My wife got one for 3-1 in Boise close to home and I got none 5 minutes later and several tries since still none.

change of subject…  not knowing any secret hand-shakes yesterday, the soonest I could secure a covid-19 vaccination appointment was early May in Mountain Home, 40 miles away, but trying the VA I got an early March appt in Boise, thank you Sir Tom  =)
