Ed Treacy,  a friend of mine in NY, once spotted an albino
red-tail on a christmas count.  Thinking it was a white gyrfalcon,
he screeched on the car brakes, jumped out of the car, swung his
scope up and looked at the bird.  Unfortunately, his scope was 
mounted on a rifle stock, and the bird was perched just outside
the Mid Orange Correctional Facility!  Needless to say, the
prison guards were pissed.
