Awesome. Mark writes: “This lovely beast was watching us make coffee a few days ago. Literally 3 feet away on our balcony. We often see hawks hunting pigeons here in the trees and skies above Roosevelt High School in Petworth.”

“Spotted this guy right outside our window near Dupont Circle.

We were watching him for about ten minutes before he readjusted and we saw he was carrying a huge rat (which he then started to devour.)”
