Extremely Rare

This extremely rare, pure white hawk has become the prized hunting trophy of shooter Roger Dahm of 17 Manuka Street. Roger had sighted the hawk several times while hunting in the Ruakituri area but had never gotten close enough for a shot at it until recently. It is believed to be only the second one seen in the southern hemisphere, and is pure white except for one beautiful black feather at the end of each wing. The hawk has been mounted on a small log and now has pride of place in the Dahm living room.
