I just spotted a bright all-white (probably fully leucistic) Red-tailed Hawk south of Barrie. I was driving on Hwy 400 northbound at about km 50. It was to my right on a large open tree limb very close to the road (on the east side of the road). It was being mobbed by a couple of crows but looked pretty relaxed, and was very easy to notice.
This is not necessarily a rare taxa, but a pretty rare form of a common Ontario species, so I thought I'd throw it on here in case anyone is passing by and wants to see it. Happy birding!
