Angel is a very rare Leucistic Red-Tailed Hawk. 2 years ago, Angel & Mohawk (no longer around) raised 2 chicks and they fledged successfully. Last year Angel chose a new mate and he was still a subadult. Since the new male was not fully mature, they did not have eggs last year. This year he has fully matured and their bond seems strong. Will post a view soon about the history of Angel and how we came to put in this very unique and rare camera.

Stats:
Location- Tennessee (exact location cannot be given for her safety)
Angel - Female, 7+ years of age, Leucistic (White)
Unnamed Mate- Male, 3+ years of age, Normal Coloration
Nest: 40 feet tall, 3 feet long x 1.5 feet wide, human-reinforced nest
Cams: Above the nest is a tiny pinhole cam so we don't intrude into the small nest, this cam does not have IR (night vision). We have a long-range PTZ cam in a distant tree, with IR and Mic.

Thanks @Susanne for pointing out this nest.
Thanks @rysx for your observations so far.
And thanks for creating a dedicated section for the couple.

I've been keeping an eye on this pair for a while now.
Unfortunately, the camera doesn't always run smoothly, but overall it works well.

All previous posts here:

edit: has just done.
Bea seems to be the good house spirit who just summarized all the posts. :laugh:



Some pics of the couple who seem very balanced and seem to be of the late riser sort.

Aaahhh, I see that some of you have already found the new topic for the Leucistic Red Tailed Hawk Cam :D

rysx suggested to open a separate topic for this nest. Unfortunately I can´t move Susanne´s and rysx´s previous posts over to the new topic here, because they were made already before this new topic was opened (forum sofware is not tolerant to such tries and will not sort them in properly :rolleyes: )

Have fun here and best wishes for a successful season for these interesting birds!

An attempt to mate, rather awkward. Angel remains unresponsive.


On February 26 there are several posts submitted by Biker and Polly, they can be found above. I hope from now on everything will proceed chronologically.

We wish the birds a successful breeding season.
