Well, not only were a pair of ravens roosting locally, but they were trying to build a nest in the billboard in the photo below.

They were at it for about a week – and then their twig-bearing flights seemed to change direction. This morning I found out why. They are building a nest on a fire escape high above the main entrance to Hollywood’s famous Roosevelt Hotel. I’m not surprised. The billboard didn’t seem too viable. Pigeons, seagulls, and difficult spaces to fit into. The new location will have the opposite problem. It is too visible, and the local primates will probably not be ecstatic about having breeding ravens on their real estate.
