Rare Leucistic Red-Tailed Hawk Coming At Me

Rare and Beautiful Leucistic Red-Tailed Hawk. She is one in 30,000 yearly. So dynamic and I feel so grateful and lucky to have captured this shot of her headed right for her prey as it was right in front of me. I have since watched her pick a mate and raise two beautiful standard red-tailed hawk. She is like a beacon of light!
