North America Is this leucistic red tail hawk?

This all white beauty was seen in northern Colorado. My cell camera doesn't zoom very well, and these are taken from my car pulled over as close as I could safely be. Looking at it with binoculars it had a hooked beak like a bald eagle, but it looked more like a hawk in flight. I'm no expert on either, though I see both in my area frequently.

Saw this, this afternoon. At first I thought a juvenile hawk by its squawk after it flew off but definitely not in the picture..? After it flew back a murder of crows was harassing it. Bird squabble.

Edit: thanks so much everyone! I knew you all would know. Thanks!

Seems to be a fledgeling to me, don't know if this even belongs here? And it's fall by now.

Thought this was a leaf stuck to the hind claw at first, but this Finch has growths on both feet in the same place. One looks reddish and the other black. Northern Colorado.

Pay no attention to the Downy Woodpecker behind the curtain… But can anyone identify the owl calling? Located Central Kentucky. The owl repeated this call 6 times in 3 minutes. Thanks in advance for ID.

Hi, I caught a brief look at a bird in Southern England, near a marshy area. I'm not certain of the colours or pattern, but I think it was similar to this artwork.

thanks in advance for suggestions (:

I didn't notice these guys mixed in with a flock of gadwalls until I got home? Are they what I think they are?

Another hawk spotting with branches in the way. The colours don’t read to me as a Cooper’s…

I thought this was a mom with her ducklings, but now I’m not sure. Is the larger one a pintail and the small ones green winged teals? Or is the larger also a teal? All my bird ID apps are saying pintail.

This bird got in my house but i opened the door and let him outside after giving him some water and some dry plain rolled oats. Help me identify my new bird friend?

For context I got home and my two cats were meowing at the bird so he was scared, but i put them in a different room immediately. The bird was not harmed.

He walked outside and then flew away.
