Hawks around Town
Thanks to Steve for sending:
“Came across this guy bravely directing bicycle traffic on Beach Dr. Returned him to the creek, I think he was happier there. Who knew there were crawdads in Rock Creek?”
Hmm, not our first Crayfish sighting but this one seems a bit more natural. Anyone know/can confirm crayfish are native to Rock Creek?

Thanks to Joe for sending:
“The Washington Monument just re-opened and we went up on Sunday morning. Look what we saw up there – a praying mantis 500 feet in the air. How’d it get up there? No clue but the ranger thinks it might have been carried up there by a hawk that they sometimes see up there.”
