Today Near the TCAAP WVA, I Saw a Blonde Red-tailed Hawk

I'm not sure if this red-tailed hawk is white enough to be classified as a pale or light morph but it's pretty cool anyway. There were two others right near by that were a lot more brown. I suspect all three are juveniles because they don't have have the prominent red-tail yet.

"Blonde"isn't a technical bird term.  Allaboutbirds.org refers to light and pale morphs of red-tailed hawks.
