Hawks around Town

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.”

Thanks to Scott for sending:

“I spotted this hawk a block from Lincoln Park in NE DC (Capitol Hill). The hawk first circled a tree and then swooped in and grabbed a squirrel in its talons. The hawk was unable to hold on to the squirrel and dropped it into a front yard. The squirrel fell into some ivy and was out of sight. The hawk sat on this fence for a while, trying to spot the squirrel, but then gave up and flew away. Pretty amazing scene.”
