Hey, just had a report from a club member that a white falcon (not sure if it is male or female) has been found and called in on Vancouver Island. No one in our club is missing such a bird, we were thinking it might have flown up from washington state. It is a canadian band, but bird might have been sold to an american falconer. If any one is looking let me know, I can get more info.

If this is the bird I'm thinking of, the bird has been returned to its proper owner. Thanks everybody that helped especially Blair, who without I would not be preparing to fly him tomorrow.
He's a great bird, unfortunately got chased off by about 15-20 Ravens as soon as I let him go the other day.
Here's a couple pics of him in all his glory:
