Thanks to Greg for sending from Logan Circle:

“Often the hawks and some of the larger black birds battle each other over tall spaces to sit (the top of the Iowa or a tall isolated tree on the Pepco property). Yesterday, one of the hawks got one of the black birds.”

Caution: Graphic/gory photo after the jump. (more…)


Thanks to Desiree’ for sending: “My boyfriend Eric spotted this hawk on top of Major General Logan at Logan Circle yesterday!”

Thanks to Katrina for sending: “On my morning jog I ran into this guy dining on a squirrel for breakfast. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the dramatic shot of him diving in for the kill, but it was quite impressive.”
