Wild Things of Hollywoodland
November 12, 2013 § 4 Comments
Since I moved to upper Beachwood Canyon in 2005, the deer have grown rarer while every other animal seems to have grown more common. Yesterday alone brought a fat squirrel in search of acorns to my door and a large red tail hawk to my deck–it was trying to get my lovebird, who was outside in a cage. On my way home last night at 7:30, I passed a coyote standing nonchalantly on the sidewalk a block north of the commercial district.
But the best recent animal sighting took place on the 3000 block of North Beachwood Drive, when the bobcat pictured above stopped to enjoy someone’s garden.

My husband and I watch the KTLA news at 10pm and it seems like at least twice a week, there is bear sighting story! You will see a ton of wildlife if you walk the Griffith Park trails at dusk. One hike we saw rabbits, a coyote and a giant rattlesnake!
Saw Bobcat this morning: 2200 block of N Beachwood. Both ears tagged, and problem with one eye:::poor thing
Took a picture, but unsure how to share it here.
Nice blog! –Ginny
