Clear and warming.
Walk up to and through Runyon. As usual, ravens appear after a few minutes observation, circling a high rise and alighting on its large TV aerial. This is 7035 Hollywood Boulevard, “The Hollywood Versailles.” They remained there until I had reached the first overlook (east ridge), so for nearly 20 minutes. While I was climbing the ridge, two other ravens appeared above Clouds Rest directly above, shooing a hawk away. During the hike up the ridge, I noted several other ravens, in twos or threes only, over the Cahuenga Pass in the Hollywood Bowl area (do music-loving ravens roost there? do they pick up new tunes?). Shortly after that, two other birds overflew the park, heading due east.
