For the squeamish I shall post after the jump. (more…)
Thanks to Liz for sending the beautiful beast above: “I spotted a red-tailed black squirrel on Florida Ave between 18th and 19th St this morning!”

“I heard a crow cawing its head at 10th between N and O NW so i looked up and spotted this guy. It looked at me and then spread its wings, the pic does not do it justice for size but this sucker was huge!”

Seems like *everyone* wants to get aboard the @Capitals train this morning! (Crystal City Station, 8:30 a.m. today — this little guy somehow wandered into the tunnel & ended up at the station. Safely exited through the tunnel back toward DCA.) #OHDEER #ALLCAPS #WMATA #StanleyCup pic.twitter.com/3ibeGuYwUe
