It’s hard to see in the photo because I couldn’t get closer in time, but the red comes up the sides and the head is slim.

Bifurcated tail mutation. To my knowledge this is the first time this mutation has ever been recorded in this species

This leucistic individual is Salamander C. This one has been photographed and observed since 2010 many times by Don Scallen and it had at least been alive two years before that, making it thirteen years old- two years older then me!

After much debate, it seems likely this is actually an aberrant A. maculatum rather than a unisexual with spotted genes.

I found this coyote pup with a plastic jar stuck on it’s head. I took it to Bruckner Nature Center where they informed me that state law prohibited them from even attempting to save its life.

In the field our group passed this off as a Rough-legged hawk. Indeed, the overall the impression of the bird is that of a Rough-legged Hawk, with some notable deviations that mark this bird as a hybrid. Many of the features resemble a typical Rough-legged (small bill, thick dark belly band, dark carpal patches, extensive white at the base of the tail), while the evenly spaced dark tail bands are reminiscent of a Red-tailed Hawk. The tail is also quite long, going past the primary extension. This overall mix of traits of both Rough-legged and Red-tailed Hawks has lead me to the conclusion that this bird is a hybrid.
Confirmed by Nick Kiehl, Jerry Liguori, Neil Paprocki, and others.
