“There is a pair of hawks that we often see around the McMillan site north of Bloomingdale, and this one is regularly perched at the NE corner watching cars go by at Michigan and North Capitol. I like to think he or she is the neighborhood protector referenced in the sign.”

Thanks to Rob for sending from Columbus Circle. “I tried to get closer and he flew to Lower Senate Park to eat in peace. Looks like he had a big breakfast…I now have “Circle of Life” stuck in my head.”

“This guy landed on my 8th floor AC unit in Adams Morgan, no doubt scoping out the pigeons in SunTrust Plaza. It’s the second time I’ve seen him, but caught him on camera this time!”

“I spotted this hawk in the alley behind Exxon on Parkwood Place at 14th Street, NW. It was right outside of my window like 10 feet from me. I saw it a few days later sitting on our deck. Our deck is only on the second story so it was funny to see a hawk so low and so exposed.”

“Dear PoPville,

Sunday night in Cleveland Park my in laws saw and heard a coyote in the driveway around 4:30/5am. It was making a loud barking type sound. Apparently it is mating season. Was skeptical at first but read that during mating season they make this noise. It lasted about five minutes until they shined a flashlight and it ran away. This was on Newark Street.”
