Wildlife in Arlington

    So in addition to the hawk, what animals have you seen in Arlington?  Walking to the Courthouse Metro every day, I see lots of rabbits, and one day I saw a few raccoons.  Taking a walk between Pershing and Wilson near VA Square one day, my wife and I saw a fox.

    I saw dead everything on the potomac heritage trail. I did see vultures by garbage pails between the gas station on washington and 10th and tallula and eat bar.

    Fox, deer (tons of deer), chipmunk, opossum, turtle, raccoon. I bet donaldson run has it's own ecosystem though.

    I've seen a number of rabbits in my neighborhood.  When I've been out walking I've seen hawks, rabbits, an occasional possum and a couple of foxes.

    In addition to the wildlife listed, I have seen a wild turkey on 24th St N. next to Fort C.F. Smith Park.  That was unexpected.

    Not in Arlington but when I worked stupidly early shifts in upper Northwest I would see deer all along Foxhall and in Ward Circle.

    I'm working from home today so I hope to get some more shots of the hawk this afternoon.
