Winter Wildlife of DC: it's not just pigeons and squirrels

Image
A couple years ago, I heard a DC biologist give a talk at a National Zoo volunteer gathering about the wildlife present in DC.  He had motion camera photos of coyotes, foxes, bobcats, otters, eagles, and assorted other fauna found in DC.  I'm stealing the title of his talk above for this collection of photos of critters we've seen the last month or so wandering around the DC area.  Some places we saw them are in DC proper, some just across or in the middle of the Potomac River.  Ok, the pictures are mostly of birds, but there is a nice surprise at the end.
