“Spotted at M & 18th St NW. It was just on the side of a building, almost perfectly still. Didn’t budge when I came up a little closer to take the picture. Looks like a Common Buckeye to me.”

“Is anyone missing a fat pigeon in Petworth? Or any bird experts that can tell me why this guy has been sitting on my fence for the past 3 hours? It didn’t budge when my dog ran up and started barking at it. We almost never get pigeons in our yard.”
Ed. Note: In all seriousness – City Wildlife is on the case.

“Dear PoPville,
I think I saw that big cat in Georgetown last week – it was out and seemed scared. Pretty sure it’s an Abyssinian. I posted about it to multiple local Facebook groups for lost animals, but couldn’t report it because it didn’t have a tag and skittered off.
I remembered at the time thinking that if it was less scared than when I saw it, it’d probably be absolutely terrifying to any local wildlife or cats due to its size.”
