This thread reminded me of driving with a non-birding friend a few years ago
when we saw a pure white bird in a tree beside the road. My friend
immediately reported it as a chicken. In fact it was an albino Red-tailed
Hawk. After enjoying a laugh at his expense I realized that one is much more
likely to see a chicken in a tree than a pure white hawk.
