Hawks around Town

Thanks to Kathleen for sending from Cleveland Park:

“My yard must be a regular stop for this hawk, probably because we have bird feeders and the hawk was looking for a meal.”

“Barred Owl spotted on 400 block of Q St NW — Beautifully and silently swooped over Q St, perching long enough to check me out while I fumbled with my groceries and iPhone for the pic. Then it gave a passing car a thrill by swooping just low enough for them to catch sight ahead and above their car. I heard the driver belt out a yelp when he saw it”

And City Wildlife saved a super cute one at the National Cathedral: (more…)

“I believe is broad-tailed hawk who likes to sit on the house next door in search of pigeons and doves that come to our bird-feeder.”

Thanks to Reymar for sending:

“So I’m minding my own business walking down by CityCenter and this huge bird lands in front of me with a flurry of feathers falling around it.

This hawk? falcon? the size of a football just snatched a pigeon out of the sky for a morning snack.”

“Eagle perched on top of the building catty-corner from Call Your Mother Sunday morning. Also, line out the door again. Bagels definitely rock.

Are we at peak PoPville with this hawks around town x call your mother collab?”

Ed. Note: If we caught the eagle flying away with an amazon package in its talons we’d be at peak. Your reach should exceed your grasp, Or what’s a heaven for? Or something like that.
