“Always great to get a reminder that there’s some pretty cool wildlife in the park!

Also, dog owners should always keep their pets on-leash in the park. This fella had multiple bite marks in his or her shell (as well as a front claw that appears to have taken some damage at some point), and it seems pretty unlikely a fox or coyote would go after something this big. Hopefully this one made it back to the creek unmolested!”

And while we wait for ducklings, this is pretty great stuff from the Humane Rescue Alliance:

“Last night, the Humane Rescue Alliance received a call of two fox kits trapped in a basement window well. (more…)

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, that is one gorgeous chicken. Thanks to Laura for sending the video last night:

“16th and Corcoran. Chicken in a tree.” (more…)

I’m sitting on about 40 new Turkey around Town photos and I had to scrap the update because now we’ve got a CHICKEN in Dupont Circle.

1. What the hell is happening?
2. I love this so much.
3. Godspeed little guy, Godspeed.

Well we fell for their plan hook, line and sinker! Spotting the wild Turkeys has been fun but WATCH YOUR BACK. Louise spotted the vultures above just off Connecticut in Van Ness.
