“Dear PoPville,
Looks like one of the wild PoPville Turkeys roaming in DC is trying to branch out internationally. One tried repeatedly to get into the doors of the New Zealand Embassy this morning and had been seen the day before lurking around the Italian Embassy. (more…)

It feels like only yesterday we dodging ravens on metro…
UPDATE: It’s a Boa.
“Dear PoPville,
Late last night my fiancé and I were walking on 10th St NW and almost stepped on what I thought was a pile of leaves. He recognized it as a snake and we leapt out of the way. It never moved and part of me is still convinced it was fake, but light Googling has told me this might be a copperhead?? Help??” (more…)

So apparently we have multiple chickens on the loose. Strange days my friends, strange days indeed.

Ed. Note: God it’s been lovely enjoying these last couple of weeks without them. When do you think they’ll start coming this year?
“Dear PoPville,
Just thinking it might be time for another mosquito control post. I’d love to hear what people think about:
A) whether spraying for mosquitos works (especially the ‘natural’ kind) and B) whether there is any point in spraying if your neighbors don’t (won’t mosquitos just come our property from theirs?). C) Any specific companies people recommend/dis-recommend?”
Thanks to Gabe for sending:
“Always great to get a reminder that there’s some pretty cool wildlife in the park!
Also, dog owners should always keep their pets on-leash in the park. This fella had multiple bite marks in his or her shell (as well as a front claw that appears to have taken some damage at some point), and it seems pretty unlikely a fox or coyote would go after something this big. Hopefully this one made it back to the creek unmolested!”
