Nesting Season 2008
Posted by ravens at February 15th, 2009
This year, a pair of ravens on Sunset Boulevard have entered the competition for Most Interesting Site – they have constructed not one but two nests on the facade of the landmark Blessed Sacrament church in the heart of Hollywood’s entertainment district. Not only did they choose the facade, but they also have invoked the patronage of two medieval Catholic saints.
Now that it’s Nesting Season 2009, we’ll be keeping an eye on this and other sites around Los Angeles, to see if former sites are used again. It was indeed a miracle that even one fledgling survived, given the very dangerous conditions they have to contend with while growing up on one of LA’s busiest boulevards.
