Many thanks. Fantastic photo.
Re: leucistic red tail hawk
One month ago, I observed a leucistic red-tailed hawk in the hills east of Ammon. It was hunting the stubble fields on the edge of the new developments and was easy to see on power poles and fence poles. It hung around for two days and I haven’t seen it since. Interesting to have so many sightings in one year. A coincidence?

Re: leucistic red tail hawk
Awesome!! That looks like the one we saw in Idaho Falls last spring. The front was almost totally white and we couldn’t figure out what it was till its back was to us. We just had a 300zoom with us that day. This is a very cropped photo that wasn’t a total blur.

Re: On SE Boise Nextdoor today
Definitely a Barred Owl :). From the description of what happened, it probably saw its reflection in the window and thought it to be an intruder in its territory. It was probably bewildered when the intruder didn’t move, actually “fighting back” :). Birds are funny, yeah they are 🙂

Wow! Thanks for sharing. They are beautiful.

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).

That looks very much like a barred owl to me!
