We parked up top using our state park parking pass and use the path to get to a great view point.. Lots of people hike up the steep trail from Jefferson. Unforgettable clear day in Los Angeles

It was an easy drive up to the top of Baldwin Hills Overlook park. The air was crystal clear after a good rain.
I was after the views but also after the tiny birds I love so much. I didn't have to wait long. Right at the top of the 282 step staircase 2 California Gnatcatchers were busy gleaning insect treats from the chaparral plants. They were round and fluffy and calling to each other. They really don't know how cute they are.
If I could calm myself and focus I might get a usable shot. The next thing I know some dude flailing his arms is standing right between me and the little birds. He had just finished the climb up the steps and was celebrating "Rocky" style.
Here's to another year with good light and unforgettable memories. Warmest wishes.
