After one of his rehabs, the rehabilitator named him "My Hawk." Someone else suggested the name "Cloud." After watching his spectacular courtship flight a few years back, I kind of like "Cloud." It captures the brilliance of the white plumage flashed in the morning sunlight.

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.
