Hello Mr. Eagle!|鷹哥哥﹐你好!|鹰哥哥﹐你好!|鷹さんこんにちわ!

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gZdBJYwaGg Ever since I've been in Hong Kong I've noticed the eagle/kite/hawks(does anyone know what they are? because in Chinese it's all the same "ying") that circle around the city. There's a spot on the peak where I've seen over a hundred flying in circles together. In all this time however, I've never seen one up close. That is until this guy showed up on the window sill of my office. Pretty cool to be a top predator in Hong Kong.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gZdBJYwaGg自從我來到香港之後﹐我留意到城市的天空經常有鷹在飛翔(有沒有人知道這些鷹是什麼鷹?因為以中文來說﹐所有鷹都稱之為"鷹")。我曾經在山頂一個地點看到超過一百隻鷹在空中飛翔。但是﹐我從來沒有近距離看過﹐直到現在﹐這傢夥在我公司的窗臺外出現。其實﹐做香港肉食動物的首位真是蠻不錯。

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gZdBJYwaGg香港に来て以来、鷹の類(イーグル?カイト?ホーク?中国語で全部「鷹」なんだけど、いったいぜんたい何なのか教えてくれない?)が街の上空を旋回してるのに気づいたんだよ。山頂で百羽が会して旋回しているのも見たことがある。この鷹さんがオフィスの窓枠にやってきたんだよ。香港の捕食動物の頂点にいるって、かっこいいよね

I looks like it might be a juvenile, which means it has brown markings, unlike the adults which probably have more distinctive markings. It is small enough, it is probably some sort of hawk (though I don't know how the buteo family is sub-divided in Asia to be sure on that). Given its small size, it probably hunts songbirds on the wing. I noticed plenty of sparrows in HK, so that is probably part of its diet.
