I got the following note form TWRA officer and TOS member Tommy Edwards of
Columbia:
Richard,
There has been a permit authorized to capture the albino red-tailed hawk in
the hwy 96 area. I think this is the hawk you took pictures of. The capture
will be to use it in falconry. You might want to let the TOS community be
aware of this in case anyone has any thoughts.
Thanks
Tommy Edwards
This is disturbing news to me. Not that I have anything against falconry as
such, but seems like taking adult birds are the wrong way to go. Especially a
spectacular old girl like this bird! She does more as a free-flying, regular
winter neighbor, and has more value free than she could ever have as
someone's captive for sport. Many people know about this bird and enjoy
seeing it
some-what tame, along Hwy. 96 in Williamson County. I'm sure the consensus of
opinion from people who have seen this bird would be for TWRA to deny this
permit.
