No, not the Maltese Falcon, not even close. This fellow is a rare find in the harbor, a Crow. Usually it is the white and gray Herring Gulls. This fellow is on break, remembering his summer in California last year.

I nearly missed this little bird. He was sitting there very still, looking at me. I didn’t dare venture any closer in case it flew off, but once home I read that they are friendly towards people.
