A bird of amazing beauty: meet White Ghost, a leucistic female red-tailed hawk. Leucism is different from albinism. White Ghost has black eyes, and does have some reddish color in her tail and brown color in a single wing feather, although it is paler than usual. The rest of her is white. White Ghost is flying with her wings and tail spread wide against a bright blue, cloudless sky. Photographer - Chris H. Petersen
