“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.”
