Thanks to Lance for sending from Takoma DC: “This Great Blue Heron is back again hoping to find any of my fish in my pond located in the backyard. We have netting over the pond but when the weather gets warmer and they start to rise, this bird knows the pattern and the fish are sluggish and easy pickings.”
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.
