Thanks to Anne for sending:

“Officer, I’d like to report a murder in AU Park.

The hawk flew off with the body of what must have been a goldfinch. On closer examination, I think the deceased was a northern flicker.”

I spotted my first Cicada yesterday in Cleveland Park but apparently it is only a “straggler”. USAToday reported in March:

“As spring approaches, many Americans may be expecting the return of loud, swarming cicadas, but experts say there’s little to worry about this year. No major 13‑ or 17‑year cicada broods are set to emerge nationwide, though a small number of insects emerging in off years, known as stragglers, may still be buzzing about.” (more…)


Thanks to Chris for sending: “This little guy hangs out between the DC Water project and the Lincoln Memorial. He does not seem bothered by the activity…”
