Hawks around Town

Thanks to Chris for sending from Truxton Circle:

“The pigeon must have been injured, possibly by the hawk earlier, as it fell from the sky a few minutes earlier and was basically unresponsive when I opened the door before the hawk arrived.”

Anyone know what kind of bird this is? Spotted this morning eating a dead rodent in the street in Dupont.”

Turkey Vulture, right?

Thanks to Rob for sending from 6th and C St, NW:

“Walked right up to him, and he didn’t move for almost a minute. Turns out he was stalking a small mouse, who darted out from under a car soon after, and the hawk hopped after him into the tree box. It was wild.”
