Thanks to a reader for sending: “Black Rat Snake crossing Columbia Rd NW from abοout the northwest corner with Wyoming Ave and then heading directly into the shrubbery in front of Gelmarc Towers (1930 Columbia Rd NW). Several of us pedestrians teamed up to stop traffic to get it across the busy road safely. Resulting in a few pissed off drivers and one happy rat eater.(more…)


Thanks to Jason for sending: “This pretty hawk landed on the patio umbrella and surveyed the yard in Crestwood for breakfast. I think the likely target was a chipmunk or squirrel.”

***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 to Kristen for sending from Bloomingdale: “Well, we knew we had a hawk visitor based on occasional “gifts” on our deck, and now we have proof. Spotted this guy (perhaps a juvenile red-tailed hawk) feasting on one of our local squirrels this morning. Would prefer he stick to rats but what can you do.”
