The vehicle was later recovered in the 1600 block of 38th St NW with the child inside and unharmed.

Thanks to Caity for sending: “We’ve seen so much wildlife lately- fox, deer, hawks, raccoons- but this guy/gal was a first. I think it’s a barred owl. He/she glared at us when my husband shouted “HOO HOO!” at it, lol.”
If you spot a hawk or any interesting wildlife around town, lunching or otherwise, and get a good photo please send 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.
