“Dear PoPville,
As seen at 1pm on Delafield and 8th st NW, this creature was NOT a cat without a tail and was trying to go up the stairs to houses.
Beaver with a fuzzy tail?
Honey badger misplaced?
Someone’s obese ferret escaped?
What is this?!”
According to my expertise, and obviously I had to post this video, it’s not a honey badger. (more…)

From the D.C. Department of Health:
“A rabid raccoon has been captured in the vicinity of 32nd St. and Nebraska Ave. NW. If you came in contact with this animal call (202) 442-9143 or email [email protected]. Read about rabies here.”
The Washington Post reported:
“Three people in upper Northwest Washington have been attacked by a rabid raccoon, D.C.health officials said.
In a statement issued Monday night, the city’s Department of Health said the raccoon was captured “after attacking three people in the Chevy Chase neighborhood.”
Be safe Chevy Chase! Or is it Wakefield or Forest Hills? Be safe Washington D.C.!!
And I would like to take this opportunity to remind you of the legendary garbage truck raccoon.

“As predicted, the monarch butterflies are making their stopover in DC. Now I know what milkweed looks like when flowering.
I saw this one on 16th/Mass Ave NW by the Australian Embassy–and saw more on 16th/P and 17th/P–mesmerizing!”

Whoa, what’s happening – first an American Bittern in Eckington and now a Heron/Egret/Another American Bittern?!? Thanks to Janine for sending over the weekend:
“I spotted this guy last night on T between 17 and 18. He looks like some type of heron or egret, but likely juvenile because his feathers are sticking out. He was gone by this morning and I called City Wildlife. They asked if he was hurt (he doesn’t seem to be) and said they will keep an eye out for him. Hope he finds his way.”
