Thanks to C and D for sending from Forest Hills:
WARNING: Should you encounter a wild turkey, smile politely, snap a photo to send to me from a safe distance, nod slightly and WALK AWAY.
In November 2021 a reader recounted an incident on the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail near the aquatic gardens. In February 2022 a reader recounted an unprovoked attack now heard around the world. In response to that post I received multiple messages about similar incidents.
If you spot a hawk, any interesting wildlife or celebrity skateboarder Tony Hawk, and get a good photo please send in an email where you spotted them to [email protected]. Thanks! Hawks around Town is made possible by a generous grant from the Ben and Sylvia Gardner foundation.
