Library Of Congress Hawk Captured

Do you remember what it was like when Twitter didn’t exist? Think about it: without the social messaging system, we would have never been able to really experience the capture of the hawk which has been perching and hovering over the Library of Congress’ reading room for the past few days, at least not as it unfolded in real time. The hawk, which has apparently been dubbed “Jefferson,” was hungry enough to finally take the bait which several different agencies had been leaving out in attempts to capture him, and, according to appropriately-named Post reporter Elizabeth Flock, is “emaciated and thirsty but otherwise in good condition.”
