[cobirds] Re: White Hawk, Westminster

This hawk has been in that area for over 10 years. I used to live near there. In 2008 he was hit by a golf ball at Legacy Ridge golf course and eventually released back to the area after being cared for by Birds of Prey rehabilitators. You can read about it in a Broomfield Enterprise story.

One pleasure of birding, for me, is getting other people interested in birds so when my friend Ed told me about an "albino hawk" he saw, I was thrilled for him and me (or is it I?). I can't see enough details in the photos he sent to identify, or describe, the hawk but I assume it's a Red-tailed Hawk just based on probability. He spotted the nearly all white hawk on Sheridan Blvd in Westminster, just north of 104th Ave.. Ed said he has seen this bird in previous winters too so maybe it's a regular winter resident. I posted one of the pictures here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/122221383@N05/15792695940/
