Thanks to Bryan for sending this super cool groundhog from University Heights (near Brookland.)
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.
“Dear PoPville,
I found this bird in the 4300 block of Harewood Road, NE. It is a sun conure. It is friendly and sweet.
Anyone who thinks it may belong to them can reach out to me with photos of their own lost bird so we can try to make a match. If I can’t find the owner, I will keep the bird, so I am not looking for adopters- just the true owner!”
Please email me at [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch with OP.

“Dear PoPville,
That stretch is so scary for pedestrians/cyclists (and even as a motorist when crossing Michigan). Cars come really flying down that hill. And the metro station and Turkey Thicket are right there, so lots of folks on foot. They need to do some real rethinking that road to make it safe.”
Update from MPD:
