Hello All,

For all of you that keep office window lists, mine presents a particular 
challenge - species diversity.  It overlooks Franklin Park at the corner of 14th 
and Eye, NW.  Today a Sharp-shinned Hawk is busy chasing the many Rock 
Doves at the park, and during the past two weeks I have seen a Red-tailed 
Hawk and a Cooper's Hawk doing the same.

Here is the complete (paltry) list of species I have seen during the past couple 
of years that I have had this window, though I don't spend much time looking 
out of it.  The Raven was from September 13, 2007 which I posted that day.

Take Care,

Jay Keller,
Arlington, VA
