Whitey


Here's a picture, taken by Chris Lyons, of the white-chested Fordham fledgling. We started out thinking that the orange color on redtail nestlings' chests was something unusual. Now we're coming to realize that in reality the white chest is the rare one. We can't find any other white-chested immature redtail besides the one Fordham kid. [NB the other two Fordham chicks were orange-breasted.]

PS Still one to go at the Cathedral
