I shouldn't do things when I'm tired! The 2nd url is the one where
I don't see a leg band. I'm not sure if they ride up or would be
visible. Diana Whiting

Hi Diana,
Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos. When trying to find
this phone, I got this message from pBase:
Bad Image Reference
The Image ID specified in the URL does not exist. It was probably
deleted, but verify the URL.

I just looked at my few pictures of this bird and I don't know if
the leg bands are higher, but on this particular shot, I don't
see a band. The pictures were from Feb. 2008. http://www.pbase.com/dianawhitingphoto/image/10820867918360148
I wonder if the one found, could be an offspring. I suppose if
it's banded, we'll out. diana

How sad. I was just driving through that area and took a spin
down Comfort Road to see if I could see her. I had seen her a
couple years ago flying out of a ditch carrying a good sized
unidentified mammal. She flew to this hay bale and proceeded
to tear away at it. A neighbor at the time said there had
been a white Red-tail there for about 25 years. I remember at
the time, I was trying to learn the sex of birds of prey by
their shape and though I've already forgotten the differences,
the bird I saw looked to be a female. The neighbor thought that
she had a normal looking mate and nested way out in the sloping
fields. She was very white except for a blush of red on her
tail and a reddish feather or two under a wing. I thought she
must be a terrific hunter and by her brown eyes was a mature
bird. I really hope that she did have some offspring that
stay. Hope to learn the details on this magnificent bird. I
have one picture posted to my raptor gallery and some others
not on there if it helps to know if it is the same bird. http://www.pbase.com/dianawhitingphoto/image/108208679

The white Red-tailed Hawk that has been seen in the Comfort
Road -- Miller Road area in Danby was found dead in a nearby
resident's wood pile yesterday. For several days the bird had
been reportedly acting strangely, allowing itself to be
approached more closely than normal and often being on or near
ground level. The bird has a band and is being taken to the
Cornell Lab of O -- if anyone there can share information on
its history those who have regularly observed the bird would
be appreciative. We have seen it for several years and other
nearby residents have said that they have seen a white hawk in
that area for over 20 years. The development known as "White
Hawk Village" with entrance on the Danby Road between Miller
Road and Gunderman Road was named for the hawk.
Some area residents believe that there may be more than one
white hawk in the area so any further sightings will be of
great interest.
