Thanks to Kristen for sending: “What the hell is this!? Seen in Logan circle park this afternoon.”

Thanks to Rozi for sending this beautiful action shot from Columbia Heights:

“This hawk had caught a pigeon and was being harassed by crows. S/he flew across the street, then back, landed in the tree in the background, dropped the pigeon, and then flew right past my window. It was all very exciting – especially for the pigeon!”
