On certain days , you just might see a big beautiful bird perched on a falconer ’ s gloved hand next to the Windsor Lawn . And while this raptor , a Harris Hawk named Timber , makes a nice Instagram photo , he ’ s actually an employee of the hotel . Let ’ s just say Timber heads avian security , as it ’ s his job to keep all of those pesky food grabbers away from the outdoor eateries . Stop by and say hi to Timber , and feel free to ask questions
