“Spotted at M & 18th St NW. It was just on the side of a building, almost perfectly still. Didn’t budge when I came up a little closer to take the picture. Looks like a Common Buckeye to me.”
If you spot a hawk or any interesting wildlife around town, lunching or otherwise, and get a good photo please send where you spotted it to [email protected] and I’ll add it to the queue. Hawks around Town is made possible by a generous grant from the Friends of the White Whale Society.
