Not sure if it was in a tree first but thanks to Tall E for sending from Adams Morgan: “saw a rat snake on my walk yesterday. Prob would have walked right over it except a guy and his dog had just stopped to look. Then we watched it slither off.”

“I am writing to inform you that we have decided to pause service at Little Pearl for 4 weeks starting May 10th in preparation for “Cicada Season”.

“Dear PoPville,
My sister in nearby Maryland just sent me a video clip from her front door camera…2:37am!!!!
She was TERRIFIED!
We can’t figure out what animal, beast, monster or possessed being this is???
Perhaps the OP community might be able to identify?
Is it mating? Is it an attack? Is it just playing around?
NOT a fun sound to hear during REM sleep…”
