Hawk Chilling in the Snow
Thanks to Jack for sending this great shot of another hawk sighting:
“Funny, when this fellow showed up on my back deck in Mount Pleasant, the finches patronizing my bird feeder nearby abruptly disappeared.”

^yes. The only danger at this location is being run over by a motorist from Maryland.

Faison's writeups make me crazy. And not in a good "I'm crazy for buying this house!" way.
The Dancing Crab's commercials have to be the worst I've ever seen. The owners saying,...
God you people are boring. Why not more chatter about their footwears?
I love this upswing in the hawk population.
That’s a Red-Shouldered Hawk, if anyone cares.
Yes, thanks! — Jack
You’re welcome! You can see why it’s called Red-Shouldered. Great pic, btw ( I’m assuming you are the Jack that sent it in).
Spotted a hawk last weekend on the roof of one of the apartment buildings near 16th and Lamont. Wonder if this is the same one.
Could be, this is at 19th and Lamont. — Jack
He’s magnificent.
At least one Cooper’s Hawk in the Adams Morgan area. I’ve seen him/her sweep down and catch a squirrel. It was awesome…minus the dead squirrel.
With these huge rats in some alleys, this growing hawk population is going to be eating good.
The hawks I see in Mount Pleasant go for pigeons. The hawks swoop down, clutch the unsuspecting pigeons in their talons, ferry them to a branch, and pull them to bits for all to see. One’s chin drops at the audactiy of it all. I also see very big crows (bigger than usual!) who maneuver fancily for party food left on nearby roofdecks. Chips, et cetera. It’s all pretty new to me. What’s happening?
Nature
Give me more of that nature!
I think the ban on DDT is paying off…. a large increase in wild birds, et cetera. Now Washington is a town of hawks and doves.
It’s been a couple of years since I’ve seen it, but there used to be a peregrine falcon that would hang out in lamp posts in Chinatown. It’s amazing to see this sort of thing in the middle of the city.
