Today* in Hawks*** around Town – Bats or Chimney Swifts? Survey Says – Chimney Swifts!

Ed. Note: We’ve previously had sightings/debates here and here, also in Edgewood.

Last night Rebecca asked around 7:30pm: “huge swarm of bats nearby Edgewood Rec Center?!?”

Rebecca later followed up: “CHIMNEY SWIFTS! I asked an expert bird friend. They did, in fact, all dive into that chimney together!”

Vera Marie replied: “My friends thought these were birds; coworkers thinks bats. This was around dusk at the neighboring rooftop a few weeks ago”

If you spot a hawk or any interesting wildlife around town, lunching or otherwise, and get a good photo please send in an email where you spotted it to [email protected] and I’ll add it to the queue. Hawks around Town is made possible by a generous grant from the Ben and Sylvia Gardner foundation.

Join local sketch comedy legends (in our own minds) Brick Penguin for an evening of live, dark, rip-roaring sketch comedy. See D.C.’s longest-running sketch comedy group do what they do best, when they’re not performing across the country in places such as the terrifying Philadelphia, the gooey Chicago, the M&M Store-y New York City, and the crunchy Seattle.

Now, our last show may or may not have mentioned Taylor Swift, and we may have gotten into some trouble from confused Swifties who thought they scored a $15 ticket to a Taylor Swift concert. So, to apologize and clear up any confusion, we’ve decided to dedicate another show to her. We promise she might or might not appear this time.
