Thanks to Eli for sending: “It’s not a Hawk, but in all my years in DC I’ve never seen a turkey vulture eating a huge rat. Spotted in the alley behind my house in Brookland.”
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.
