“Dear PoPville,
The photo of the bird with the rat is a hawk, not a falcon. It might be a red-tailed hawk. It is good they are catching the rodents. Please, remind people not to use rodenticide. It poisons the rodents and also the hawks, owls, and even eagles too. We must protect those predators or we open the world’s people to more disease.
Attached is a photo of our Peregrine Falcon, her name is Spirit. Peregrine Falcon’s are the fastest animal in the world. She lives with us at Moccasin Lake Nature Park in Clearwater, FL.”

“So I’m minding my own business walking down by CityCenter and this huge bird lands in front of me with a flurry of feathers falling around it.
This hawk? falcon? the size of a football just snatched a pigeon out of the sky for a morning snack.”

“Eagle perched on top of the building catty-corner from Call Your Mother Sunday morning. Also, line out the door again. Bagels definitely rock.
Are we at peak PoPville with this hawks around town x call your mother collab?”
Ed. Note: If we caught the eagle flying away with an amazon package in its talons we’d be at peak. Your reach should exceed your grasp, Or what’s a heaven for? Or something like that.

“I was running down in front of the Kennedy Center Sunday and saw this guy pull a 2.5 foot long catfish out of the Potomac! Didn’t get a great photo, but he was the size of a small dog. The guy threw him back a few seconds after this photo, but i didn’t realize there were fish this size in there.”
