A reader sends from the 3700 block of Reno Road, NW near Rodman Street. It’s hard to tell from the photo but there are reportedly three of them. I’m told they seem peaceful (unlike their crazy cousins. However, if you are a chicken owner in Cleveland Park (or the nearby area, wait can chickens fly? wherever you are) – please check on your chickens.
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.
