INTRODUCTION

Dear Ones,

Here is a conversation with Ravens, Songbirds, Scrub Jays, Mountain Lions, Ground Hogs, and Coyotes at Malibu Creek State Park, Santa Monica Mountains, California, on 4 December 2025.

Right after that I went to Paramount Ranch, which is nearby. Immediately I got out of the car, all the birds assured me there were no Mountain Lions at that location just then. It was uncanny … almost as if word of what had happened in the below video had spread like wildfire, all the way to the Songbirds at Paramount Ranch! What transpired then is worth waiting for. I will save that video for another day.

Meanwhile, in this first video the Ravens teach me to toughen up and scare the Mountain Lions away by shouting: Stop! Stop! …

There is an edited Summary after the video …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

Hello, Dear Ones, It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.

[Turn audio to medium high.]

I was just heading back along Crags Trail and Ravens said: Dharm Dar! (First they ask your name.)

Ravens said: Dharm Dar! Great big Mountain Lion right behind you! Say: Stop! Stop!

So I turned around and i said to the direction the Ravens said there were Mountain Lions (of which I saw none): Stop! Stop! … Then I said to the Ravens: How was that?

Ravens said: Pretty good! [Modelling how to say it] Stop! Stop!

[You can hear Ravens saying this in the background on the video.]

Alice to Readers: Can you hear them?

[Ravens are talking on video.] Alice to Ravens: Yeah, I got it. Can you hear them?

Alice to Ravens: Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! … How did I do?

Lady Raven to Alice: Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!

Alice to Ravens: Got it! Thank you! Thank you, Ravens! Thank you!

Alice to Readers: Hear them? They are explaining how. They are doing great! And just in case [in case they are right about the Mountain Lions] I have to get going [back to the parking lot] … Here is what the Mountain Lion said … In a low voice he said: All right, I’ll stop.

The Mountain Lion said that before, and he didn’t stop. I was walking right fast, and strongly, and over on the right I heard a young Mountain Lion say: I’m going to see where the action is.

I can’t believe they picked up this [slang] vocabulary!

The Ravens said earlier they have to teach all the animals how to say: Stop! Stop! Stop!

They are pretty good, those Ravens, are they not?

Alice to Songbirds: Senorita! Pleased to meet ya … Anybody? … Senorita! Pleased to meet ya. Pleased to meet ya. [no reply to that; instead I am urged to move faster] Ok, I’ll move faster.

Alice to Readers: The Songbirds don’t want to say “Senorita! Pleased to meet ya.” They think I should just move faster.

Scrub Jay to Alice: Right! That’s a Mountain Lion back there. Mountain Lion right behind you, d-mmit! Please move faster! That was a Mountain Lion. Please move faster.

Alice to Scrub Jay: Ok.

Scrub Jay to Alice: Don’t look back.

Alice to Scrub Jay: Why not?

Scrub Jay to Alice [shouting]: Mntn Lion [meaning Mountain Lion!] Mountain Lion!

Alice to Scrub Jay: What?

Scrub Jay to Alice: RIGHT back there! Right be-HIND you! G-DDAMNIT IT! … RIGHT BEHIND YOU!

Alice [louder]: Ok, ok, ok!

Alice to Readers [repeating]: Mountain Lion. Get out of here quick!

Alice to Scrub Jay: I hear you. Where is it? Where is it?

Scrub Jay to Alice: RIGHT be-HIND you! RIGHT be-HIND you! RIGHT be-HIND you!

Alice to Scrub Jay: THANK you!

Alice to Readers [repeating]: Right behind you, Dharm Darshan Kaur.

. . . . .

I hate this. I really hate this. The Rangers say it’s fine, the Mountain Lions are far away. And the birds go nuts. Who am I to believe here? “Right behind me?” … or “No”? The Mountain Lions are right good at concealing themselves if it is true that they are right behind me.

Alice to Scrub Jay: Well, where are they, though?

Ground Hog to Alice [speaking on the Wind]: Ground Hog WILL say they are not really right behind you. They might be farther away than that, Dharm Darshan Kaur. Farther away than that, don’t you see?

Alice to Ground Hog: Who IS that saying that?

Ground Hog to Alice [speaking on the Wind]: I ARE the Ground Hog, Dharm Darshan Kaur. That’s who I really am [x5].

[At the bridge before the parking lot at Malibu Creek State Park …]

Alice to Readers: Nutsifying! This is nutsifying!

Young Coyote to Alice: Keep walking!

Alice to Young Coyote: Who is that? Who is that saying ‘Keep walking’? Is this the Troll of the Bridge?

Alice to Readers: It said “Keep walking, Dharm Darshan Kaur.”

Alice to Troll of the Bridge [in a deep voice]: Who is that down there? Who is that down there? Troll of the Bridge!

Unknown Being [tenor voice]: KEEP WALK-ing, Dharm Darshan Kaur!

Hummingbird [tickled pink]: KEEP WALK-ing!

Alice to Troll of the Bridge [in a deep voice, for the sake of the Hummingbird, who is listening]: Keep walking, Dharm Darshan Kaur! … Who is that down there? Woo! Woo!

Tenor voice: We ARE the Trolls of the Bridge! [I think this was a Young Coyote pretending to the be the Troll!]

Hummingbird to Alice: Who is it?

Alice to Troll of the Bridge [in a deep voice, for the sake of the Hummingbird, who loves this story]: Woo! Woo! Who is that down there? Woo!

Tenor voice to Alice: We ARE the Trolls of the Bridge! [I think this was the Young Coyote pretending to be the Troll.]

Alice to Troll of the Bridge: Woo-hoo. Woo-hoo! Yoo Hoo!

Gruff voice [maybe Father Coyote]: You all, CUT THAT OUT! There are no Trolls under that silly old bridge!

Alcie to Readers: Did you hear the Yoo Hoo Troll .. the Troll of the Bridge? I didn’t know there was one down there.

[Alice arrives at parking lot.]

Alice to Readers: Ok, here is another Raven that does it differently.

Alice to Raven: Out! Out! Out! … Did I do it ok?

Father Raven to Alice: Out! Out! Out!

Mother Raven to Alice: Out! Out! Out!

Alice to Mother Raven: I heard that! Somebody else said ‘Out! Out! Out!’ too.

[Forest personnel are talking and laughing.]

Alice to Father Raven: Who is that over that that said that with you?

Mother Raven to Alice: Out! Out! Out! Out!

Father Raven: Moun-tain Lion!

Mother Raven [just learning the words]: Moun-tain Lion!

Alice to Ravens: Moun-tain Lion! Mntn Li-n [abbreviated form used by birds in emergencies; like contractions such as ‘can’t’ that are used in human language]

Hawk on the wing [Kestrel?] to all of us: It’s REAL-ly not there there there there!

Ravens: Not! Not! Not! Not!

Alice to Readers: No, it’s way back there [far back on the trail] … Mountain Lion. Right.

Young Hawks [?] to all of us: Where? Where? Where? Where? …. Where? Where? Where? Where?

Father Raven to Young Hawks: STOP that!

Alice to Young Hawks: That’s what they said. That’s what your friends said. Out! Out! Out!

Father and Mother Raven: Out! Out! Out!

Alice [imitating Ravens]: Out! Out! Out! Out! … Good work!

Father Raven [embarrassed]: STOP that.

Mother Raven [pleased]: Out! Out! Out! Out!

Hawk: Where? Where? Where? Where?

Father Raven: Out! Out! Out! Out!

Hawk to Father Raven: Where? Where?

Father Raven to Hawk [gruffly]: I don’t know where it is.

Alice to Readers: So I guess you can say we’re just having a talk about the best way to say ‘Out! Out! Out!’ … Everybody has their own version of it. They are doing such a good job! Everybody is doing great!

Kestrel: Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!

Alice to all the beings: You guys are the Watch Guards of the Forest! Yeah, you are! You’re the Sentinels of the Forest?

Father Raven [mortified]: Stop That!

Alice to all the beings: Sentinels of the Forest! Yeah! Flies like the Wind! Strong, brave, flies like the Wind Ravens! That’s you!

Mother and Father Raven to Alice: Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!

Alice to Ravens: Yeah, that’s you!

Hawk to Alice and Ravens: Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Father Raven to Alice: Stop!

Hawk to Alice: Up HERE! Up HERE! Up HERE! Up HERE! Up HERE! Up HERE! Up HERE!

[I ought to have complemented Hawk as well.]

Alice to Father Raven: Ok.

Father Raven to Alice [laughing]: Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!

Alice to Readers: They’re right modest.

Father Raven and Mother Raven take flight.

Alice to Ravens: Oh, beautiful! Beautiful! … Wow, you guys are something elese!

[All this while, Father Raven is protesting.]

Alice to Ravens: It’s so nice to see you! You’re great! You’re the greatest!

Father Raven to Alice: Stop! Stop! Stop! … Stop! Stop! Stop!

Alice to Ravens: Wow! Youse knocking my socks off! … Yes, you are! … Youse knocking my socks off!

Father Raven [speaking through his nose, he is so embarrassed]: Stop! Stop! Stop! … Stop! Stop! Stop!

Alice to Father Raven: Yeah, you!

Alice to Readers: Knocking-my-socks-off Ravens! … Other birds too!

Alice to Ravens: Who is that?

Father Raven to Alice [leaving off the consonants while speaking]: I don’t know who that is.

Alice to Father Raven: That’s nice too, isn’t it?

Father Raven to Alice: That Hawk!

Alice to Readers: Well, we’re having a good time. And the Forest Workers are having a good time. They are here bright and early, when the hoarfrost [rhime] is on the stairs. That’s that filmy, frosty white stuff … Wow! Close call, I guess! … Another close call.

WAIT! There’s a Bonus Video Clip after the Credits! …

So, I said ‘Mountain Lion’ to the birds because the Forest Service people were there and I wanted them to have a chance to learn how the birds say ‘Mountain Lion’. But instead of saying ‘Mountain Lion’ the birds headed off at a straight, silent dive directly into the thickest bushes. Well, I tried.

Earlier, though, I heard one of the larger Songbirds call the Mountain Lion, not by the contraction ‘Mntn Lin’ as the birds were saying elsewhere, but more like the Ravens sometimes speak words without consonants. The Songbirds were saying something like this: ‘Ah-oo Ah-ah’ … Something like that … ‘Ah-oo Ah-ah’ … or maybe ‘Ah-ah Ah-ah’.

It sounded a little like ‘Mountain Lion’ but they were disguising it more so that it would not be known to the Mountain Lions that the birds were talking about them.

‘Ah-oo Ah-ah’ … I hope I got it on tape.

CONCLUSION

God bless you all
And keep you safe,
And be with you
Through all your days!

In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.
I Am of the Stars … and so are you!
