Update from from Susan Cole (via Gary):

The Tabard Inn bought the sculpture “Humanity’s Throne” and it is now installed in front of the Tabard.

Thanks to Craig for sending: “I saw this red-shouldered hawk (I think) hanging out at 18th and Park in Mt. Pleasant yesterday. Mt. P is a great neighborhood to raise a raptor family – good nesting sites, near the park, and lots of food walking around in the alleys.”

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.
