What the Helen of Troy is This

Thanks to Rachel for sending: “I took this (slightly out of focus) shot of a hawk with what I think is a small possum. He’s sitting on the top of a house in Brightwood.”

Small possum or giant rat?

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.


Event

The DC Chamber Musicians close out the 25-26 season with popular works by Brahms and Dohnanyi, and three selections of newer works that are sure to delight. All set in the lovely St. Thomas’ Parish Episcopal Church in the Dupont Circle neighborhood. Join us afterward for a reception featuring light refreshments (including beer and wine) and an opportunity to chat with the musicians.

City Ride

Thanks to Jeff for sending: “Rare U.S. spec BMW 2000, predecessor to the 5 series. This car in other parts of the world deviated from BMW’s tradition of round headlights, opting for rectangular ones instead. U.S. regulations resulted in the U.S. spec car having twin round headlights.”
