Ed. Note: It was inevitable.

“Dear PoPville,

Parakeet running with a group of unruly sparrows on Capitol Hill

It was with a bunch of sparrows that it seemed to be hanging out with…

Not exactly camouflage by the Hart Senate Office parking lot bushes (East Side across from St. Joseph’s Church)”

Ed. Note: The last time we posted about this parakeet @PoPville on twitter a reader responded that they’ve tried to catch him/her multiple times but have been unsuccessful. I think they said they’ve been leaving bird seed, let’s not go there, and provided some sort of shelter. Of course this memory could be tainted by the gin.


Thanks to Stacy for sending the live action from Hill East:

Thanks to Doug for sending: “Spotted these two black vultures on a light pole. When I went out on the balcony to get a closer look, one came over to inspect me. Wikipedia says average wingspan is 5 ft. I’d believe it – big nasty thing! From Adams Morgan” (more…)

Thanks to Katie for sending from the Brookland metro and haunting my dreams with this:

“I just wasted 10min trying to photograph a rat big enough to qualify for a PoPville corgis in backpacks riding metro feature. Some dude was kind enough to share his photo with me. No joke, it had to weigh at least a pound.”


Thanks to David for sending this “nice looking hawk taking a break near the reflecting pool on the Mall.”
