On the way back from a delicious Indian buffet lunch in Marina del Rey, my eagle-eyed colleague drew my attention to two ravens scliding in over the rooftops of Playa Vista - avid birders that ravens are, they were probably coming in to check out the Ballona wetlands preserve. However, with the Furama Hotel, where there is a raven nest on the top floor, closed and likely to be renovated, they might have been checking out LA’ s newest and probably largest mass luxury housing development.
We don’t see ravens frequently in this area, so it seems reasonable to assume that this is the pair that owns the nest and the territory.
