Thanks to all for the warm welcomes. I have heard of Gary Czech probably from my infrequent association with the Braddock Bay Bird Observatory. There's been a banding station there for decades and they do get lots of raptors in the fall.
My raptor banding partner was out yesterday in Montgomery County NY and he captured/banded a leucistic Red-tailed Hawk. It is the second he has encountered in this area and had much more white in it than the last one. He and I are going out tomorrow to the Fort Edward Washington County area. We were there last week and had a slow day, but managed to capture a Cooper's Hawk. I am still trying to figure out how to post pictures. I'll get some up of some of the birds and some have asked for photos of my two Parkers so I'll get them up too.
