Sun Feb 17 /08 Wolfville: Just to let you know that Sandra and Bernard Forsythe, and I, saw the elegant 'partial' albino Red-tailed Hawk just south of the Ridge Rd at Exit 10 (Hortonville/Grand Pre exit), Hwy 101, on our return to Wolfville this afternoon. It was perched in some tall trees edging an orchard on the south side of the eastern end of the Ridge Rd. We watched it set out across the fields below the Ridge, and then return, taking time to hover and enjoy the updraughts caused by the strong winds blowing there. A pretty sight. The only 'colour' markings we noted were some dark feathers on the back of its head, and the upper part of its tail has a pale pinkish-brown wash to it. Bernard noted it eyes were very dark. Anyone searching the area for this hawk should check both sides of this Exit 10 overpass area along the Ridge Rd, as local residents say it sometimes perches in a stand of trees to the west of the overpass between the Ridge Rd and Hwy 101.
