Up to Runyon – for exercise, I swear. Somewhat early in the morning, cool, partly cloudy. again the only time I’ve caught the birds with food or caching – walking up LaBrea by Hawthorne, raven alights on billboard with some sort of paper wrapper looking thing. Bird hops inside billboard, seems to cache. May have just eaten the thing, really. Must get up earlier to catch them at the foraging. Or maybe it would be easier to stay up later? Sleep deprivation either way.

In the canyon, only two birds in courting mode. Is a pair planning to nest in the lower canyon entrance – those big pines must be attractive. Does the pair often seen at the Wright house nest there? Will more than one pair accomodate themselves? After all, L.A. is a big smorgasboard.
