I believe that the mystery raptor Seth was seeing near Fountain City was
probably a partially albinistic Red-tailed Hawk as I have been seeing some in
that area for over 20 years. One bird hangs out along County YY and the other
along the southern end of Canada Ridge Road where it intersects with Waumandee
Creek Road, both of which are near Fountain City. Another good spot for an
albino Red-tailed Hawk in Buffalo County is along County road E as you go up
the hill out of Alma and before you get to the top of the hill. by scanning
off towards the river along the bluff you have a good chance of seeing this
bird, and if you miss it here it can often be seen along the road to Buena
Vista Park which branches off of E. This bird is almost pure white with only
two dark feathers mixed in.
