Thanks to Connor for sending from Dumbarton Oaks in Georgetown.
Remember June is the official start of Black Rat Snake season.
Fear not, they pose no threat to humans. Also, they eat rats which is good.
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.
