Thanks to Walter for sending: “looks like NPS put out some signs to warn about Turkeys on the ART.”

Ed. Note: In November 2021 a reader recounted another incident on the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail near the aquatic gardens. More recently in February a reader recounted an unprovoked attack “had to get a tetanus shot and antibiotics”. In response to that post I received multiple messages about similar incidents.


Thanks to Dan for sending: “We had this beauty come visit us on our balcony today in Trinidad. Hung out for a while before swooping down into the grass and coming away with some unfortunate critter! Glad to have them around!”

If you spot a hawk, any interesting wildlife or celebrity skateboarder Tony Hawk, and get a good photo please send in an email where you spotted them to [email protected]. Thanks! Hawks around Town is made possible by a generous grant from the Ben and Sylvia Gardner foundation.
