Thanks to Emily for sending Larry (yes, a vulture not a hawk) before the snow (above) “from the lawn of the Marlyn Condominiums on Cathedral Ave, NW.”

And thanks to Yuri for sending this great take off: (more…)


Thanks to Jack for sending:

“I noticed two Peregrine Falcons on top of the rusty old radio tower between Harvard st and Columbia Rd, right off of 14th st. Looking back in your blog it looks like a few years ago they were seen on that same tower, so perhaps the same pair returned to the area (and maybe they always have!). I just saw one of them again today, so it seems like they could be here for the winter.”

Awesome photo in flight: (more…)


Thanks to Adrian for sending this beautiful “red hawk I’ve noticed hanging out in a tree high above Kalorama park. Nice looking guy, and grateful for his vigilance!”
