Thanks to Terra for sending from “an alley near the Georgia Ave/Petworth Metro station. Even the cat is surprised!”

If you spot a hawk or any interesting wildlife around town, lunching or otherwise, and get a good photo please send in an email where you spotted it to [email protected] and I’ll add it to the queue. Hawks around Town is made possible by a generous grant from the Ben and Sylvia Gardner foundation.


Thanks to Noam Raffel for sending these great photos:

“During quarantine a lot of cyclists are heading down to Hains Point. On the southern most point of the golf course a bald eagle visits every afternoon. (see picture of the eagle land.) When she is not around Ospreys hang out there, often holding fish (See picture). (more…)


Thanks to Andy for sending: “Spring migration means some seasonal visitors coming back to (or passing through) DC’s wild spaces. The top photo is a scarlet tanager, the middle photo a black-and-white warbler, and the bottom photo an osprey. We’ve got ospreys year round, but this one was hanging out by Rock Creek keeping an eye on the spring shad run. All spotted in Rock Creek Park on May 4th.” (more…)
