I saw my first box turtle in Dumbarton Oaks Park (Georgetown) over the weekend - after living in the neighborhood and birding/dogwalking there for 15 years.  That, combined with the increase in local Wood Thrushes (I heard at least 2, perhaps 4 on Sunday, and on Saturday another 2 along Rock Creek north of Montrose Park), made me wonder if this is just coincidence or could it be related to the fact that I have NOT seen or heard the formerly resident foxes the past 2 years.
 
I don't know what became of the foxes.  My dog misses them very much.
