Yesterday, on the way back from Pelee, I had a pure white bird sitting in a farmer's field. Definitely a raptor of some sort. It flew off as I turned around to try to see it better. I caught a pic of it flying away. When it perched, way off in the distance, I thought I saw bright yellow feet.
Seemed too slim to be a Snowy Owl. My first impression was an albino/leucistic Red-tailed Hawk, but I'm not sure at all. When I drove back again after dinner, the bird was gone. Location: in a field south of South Middle Road and Lakeshore Road 225. Google Maps coords: 42.1936211,-82.7064476.
