Managed to find a little nature (in the middle of LA), including a tiny bushtit and a large red shouldered hawk. The bushtit was jumping around everywhere making it tough to catch a photo, while the hawk practically posed. #birds #borb

Two fledgling doves have taken up residence right outside our front door. So every time we leave or return we tiptoe by to avoid disturbing them.
