Despite the furious windstorm in the Cajon Pass just before New Year’s, there they were, a pair of birds above the 210 at about 20 meters, managing to soarcle just to make sure I didn’t begin to believe that ravens stayed home during the Santa Ana Winds here. Ravens above the 210 along the Cajon wilderness and pass are pretty dependable.
Yesterday, a pair at LaBrea and Venice, alighting on telephone pole tops; and at least one deigning to land on the curb at LaBrea and Washington. Must’ve seen something very tempting.
Today, as I was waiting for a light at Mansfield and Melrose, a pair hove into view at rooftop height and glided to a stop on telephone poles behind some shops - above the alley that runs parallel to Melrose. They seem to favor both poles and alleys. I’ve got photos from the same alley at Poinsettia.
