Today* in Hawks*** around Town

Published February 7, 2025 at 11:00AM

Thanks to Betsy for sending:

“I was photographing this hawk, a red tail I think, in a tree in Dupont Circle when suddenly it flew over to the lamp post right next to me! Well, this may explain why I haven’t been seeing as many squirrels and Dupont Circle lately.”

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.
