NOV. 22, 2009 - This afternoon I found the nearly-all-WHITE RED- 
TAILED HAWK without difficulty at Hortonville, at the usual place at  
the Kennie farm just southwest of the Hwy. 101 overpass near the Just  
Us! Coffee Roastery & Cafe.  One place I always hope for the bird is  
a small tree just south of the Kennie farmhouse, and today the hawk  
was perched on top of a pole (one of several) standing adjacent to  
that tree, and very visible from the dirt road that goes east from  
the house.  This hawk is definitely our old friend who has been  
present for perhaps 10 or more winters now and absent in Springs and  
Summers.  Today it was facing me as I viewed it from my car with  
spotting scope.  It appears to be all striking white, with yellow  
feet, yellow cere covering the base of the beak, which is dark, dark  
eyes, and a large patch of blackish or dark brown behind the head  
above the nape.   Richard Stern could have gotten a nice photo of  
this bird today.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
