This morning, a leucistic Red-Tailed Hawk was on a telephone pole on Loop 463 
between Salem Rd and Mockingbird Lane.
 
This afternoon, I "braved" the 99 degree heat by car-birding Saxet Lakes Park 
and was surprised to see 20 species in an hour and a half, including my FOS 
American Kestrel, a Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher, an Eastern Kingbird, and two Yellow 
Warblers.
