Loree Johnson took this picture in Klamath Basin–her brief note: “This bird was very far away, but flying over Unit 2 at Lower Klamath NWR this morning. There was also a normal colored male in the vicinity.” Harrier leucistic, probably female.
Online searching hints that Unit #2 is inside California, east of Miller Lake and at niorthwest corner of the main section of South Klamath NWR. None of the maps online are totally clear, and, of course, none of the government offices answer the phone.
This is Audubon’s birthday–240 years ago he was born on Haiti. Later his parents took him to France, then sent him to the US so he wouldn’t end up in Napoleon’s deadly wars.
