Albino, or leucistic, Red-tail Hawks are often reported.   An albino wintered and nested from 1967 to 1981 at Verbank and is pictured here.  Another wintered at Pine Plains from about 1994 to 2001.  Others have also been reported.

These photos were published in the May/June 1982 issue of New York State Conservationist.
