Ravens in Hollywood

Wednesday morning founding me driving LaBrea south through Hollywood instead of my usual rat runs. LaBrea is actually a very good place to be in the morning if you’d like to see ravens. The first pair was hanging out near Pink’s, specifically on the large billboard just above that fine establishment. And unless they were setting airspeed records, a second pair had taken up posts in the same regard at LaBrea and Beverly. To complete the morning, a lone raven seemed to want to race me to Washington, but it was really just heading for a nearby streetlight. Given this sample and those of many other morning drives to work, Hollywood and related areas of LA would appear to be well populated with foraging ravens by 8 a.m.
