Thanks to Barry for sending this black vulture in flight from Columbia Heights. And thanks to Demetrius for sending from Brightwood: “does not do justice to just how big this creature’s wingspan looked from 20 feet below. how majestic.” (more…)

Thanks to Gene for sending: “25th and L sts NW. it’s been there 3 days feasting on the rats” (more…)

And about that praying mantis, chilling: (more…)

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?”
