 Subject: Red-shouldered Hawk at Shady Grove station

 An adult Red-shouldered Hawk was hunting in the wooded ditch
 on the east side of the Shady Grove metro station last night
 around 5:00 PM.  Since rats are a component of the fauna
 there, I will look for it again.  It didn't seem at all
 disturbed by the commuters, Ride-on buses or cars, all
 bustling about within 20-30 feet of the bird.
    Don't forget, the birds are where you find them!
