On Wednesday morning we were surprised to see an adult Peregrine Falcon flying north paralleling Georgia Avenue in downtown Silver Spring, carrying prey.  It passed 150-200 from our car in somewhat labored flight.  

Yesterday afternoon while near the Capitol on a non-birding outing we saw an adult Bald Eagle fly a hundred yards or so over us on the National Mall, heading toward the Capitol.  A few minutes later, a Peregrine Falcon swooped and landed on top of the statue which tops the Capitol dome; it was quickly joined by a second.  In the medium distance we could still see the Bald Eagle, then saw a second and more distant eagle.
