Media notes
I think it's a partial albino red-tailed hawk.
Observation details
Spotted this light morph hawk while paddling and recording along the Yukon. I did not get a recording but I had heard the bird earlier. I'm pretty sure it's red-tailed hawk based on the vocalization I heard but am not positive. Quiet slough of the Yukon. Bluff on one side, flat island with lots of willows and poplars and a few spruce. Partly cloudy. Calm.
