On my drive back from an extended trip to the Rio Grande Valley of Texas I spotted several dark morph Harlan's Red-tailed Hawks including one apparent leucism. I usually see several Harlan's Hawks every year but I have never seen a leucistic one and it was most striking. I have uploaded several photos of the bird onto my Birds and Nature blog.
It was a productive drive from Lamar to Canon City with a total of 36 Red-tailed Hawks (including several Harlan's) and 1 Northern Harrier viewed as I drove down H50. This corridor is usually quite productive for raptors but was especially so this trip.My blog has some interesting birds I photographed in the Rio Grande Valley including Blue Bunting and Rose-throated Becard for those interested.
