“I teach 3rd grade in McLean, VA. Back in February, my students and I were able to experience the food chain in action when this hawk landed outside of our classroom with a sparrow in its talons!”

Thanks to Andrew for sending this awesome update on the USDA Hawk:
“This morning at USDA we saw this Hawk kill a pigeon out of mid-air at the USDA South Building and then a larger bird seemed to steal it away (we are thinking it may have been an immature bald eagle as it was bigger than this one).
We then caught a picture of the hawk sitting at a window. Unfortunately we couldn’t get a good picture of the bigger bird.”

Thanks to Will for sending:
“Caught this bewildering footage from a slow speed chase of what looks like a deer on Lamont in Columbia Heights. Having watched a few times, the police car trailing behind in this little parade might be the best part…”
The odds of this happening to you are probably like winning the lottery but holy moly.
“Dear PoPville,
Not long ago you posted a picture of a sign that appeared at a local playground warning parents of the presence of potentially poisonous snakes, and the resulting thread in part turned into a discussion of whether or not copperhead snakes live in the DC area. Well, fyi, if you haven’t seen this yet, check it out:
A Silver Spring woman was recently bitten by a venomous snake — in her bed:
“The snake in Christie’s bed was a copperhead, which seldom get longer than three feet. But it was big enough. It had bitten Christie — twice, it turned out.”
Dude really gets around. Thanks to Kelly for sending from the campus at Gallaudet University.
