careful01.... this post was about the bird, not the employees of Sushi Rock. Also thanks, you're wrong.

Yes, that's a juvenile red-tail hawk. A very cranky one, from the looks of it. It *is* odd behavior for it to be sitting there, so close to human activity, but I see red-tails in the Civic Center area pretty much every day. There's been at least one taken to WildCare with oil on it, so that's possible, although there doesn't seem to be any visible around its bill in the photo.

Tt's a hatch year red-tailed hawk. It may just need more altitude to take off.

This picture is sad. Reminds me of the trip to the zoo where the chimp just sat there, holding the bars and looking miserable (last trip I ever made to a zoo, btw). :-( Hope Animal Care was able to help him/her.

Does anyone realize that there is not a single Japanese national working at Sushi Rock? Not the servers or the food preparers.

I can't believe I'm the only one depressed by this picture. That bird is definitely not well.

I think it might have had an injured wing. Someone was calling Animal Care and Control when I took the pic, but I couldn't stick around to see what happened. I'm hoping they came and got him. And yeah, I don't know much about about birds so I have no idea if it's a hawk or a falcon or a really big pigeon. OK. I'm pretty sure it's not that last one.

Pretty cool, although I hope it wasn't injured or anything. Seems odd that it would just be sitting there for no reason.

He might like their veggie curry, too, or the house cold noodle.
