Dear Ones,

I have noticed much less visibility of homeless people in West Hills in the last six months. I had put it down to relocation to shelters, people moving from tent sleeping to urban car camping, and possibly to local vendettas by homeowners and business owners.

It occurred to me last night … maybe because of the solar flare flurries that have taken place in the last day or so … that the homeless who used to live in tents or sleeping bags along Oakwood Trail and Wagon Road Trail and Sarajevo Trail in the Simi Hills near Oakwood Memorial Park and Cemetery; and in Chatsworth Park South and Chatsworth Park North;  and in the underbrush near Chatsworth Community Center might have been preyed upon and possibly decimated by Mountain Lions there.

I guess time will tell. Meantime, this is a warning for the homeless who live in tents or sleeping bags in or near the Simi Hills. Please be aware that intuition tells me there has been a big upsurge in the number of Mountain Lions in the Santa Monica Mountains. This may extend to the Simi Hills. It is possible that Mountain Lions have eliminated the Deer population, and that the population of rabbits, ground squirrels, and other rodents may not be enough to sustain them. Thus they might have turned to predation on human beings.

If you are camping in a tent or sleeping bag, then there is a danger you might be eaten by Mountain Lions in the local mountains. If you are sleeping in a car or, say, a metal container there, then you may be caught and eaten if you get out of the vehicle or container to relieve yourself.

This warning applies at all times of day and night for areas where the Mountain Lions have made one successful human kill. I intuit that word spreads fast amongst the Mountain Lion population locally.

This warning also applies, both day and night, for those who are camping in the Santa Monica Mountains or camping at any of the Los Angeles beaches that are near the mountains.

Io lux et pax nobiscum.
Joy, light and peace be with us!

INTRODUCTION

Dear Ones,

This video has stories about recent Mountain Lion predations on human beings in the Santa Monica Mountains.

Chilling though these tales may be, it is important to note that they have to do with telepathy and the astral plane. They have yet to be proven through real life revelations.

Just in case, for the time being, please exercise great care while hiking in the Santa Monica Mountains.

There is a Summary after the video …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

“What a Day! Mountain Lions Say They Are Everywhere!”
By Alice B. Clagett

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

INTRODUCTION

You know, prophecy is hard work. Lots of times prophecies are not what people want to hear. I had a series of prophecies one day a few weeks ago that were definitely not what I wanted to hear and definitely not what a lot of people wanted to hear.

So, I have to tell you, I put off publishing these until I had some good news last week about the same topic … the topic of how many Mountain Lions are in the Santa Monica Mountains and also what they’re up to with regard to predation on human beings.

So, here’s the bad news, but just to let you know, it was mitigated by the good news that I put out last week. There’s still some concern that even though there may have been an exodus of some Mountain Lions from the Santa Monica Mountains,

it could be that other Mountain Lion areas will be too populated and those Mountain Lions will move into the areas that have less Mountain Lions in them. So, we should all be very much on guard still, I feel.

Paramount Ranch – Camper Killed by Mountain Lions?

Well, here I am at Paramount Ranch again. It looks like there’s no parking here because of construction right now. And I just thought before I left, I’d show you what I had in mind when I was talking about what I thought was a missing person over here who was camping out at night. I’ll show you.

Okay. Up here, see, there’s a storage shed. Then I saw this dumpster and the dumpster had in it a new mattress [that is now gone] and still here is a mattress cover and pillows and stuff.

And I thought it could be that the story that I heard had to do with some people who were using that as a camping place. And maybe they had to exit that place at night in order to go use a restroom. Maybe one person came out and never went back. That was what I thought. And then I thought maybe everybody got upset and then they left all this bedding here and just went away.

And now it looks like they they’ve [restricted the parking lot]. And I haven’t heard why, you know. So there is a Ranger Station here, but usually if you knock on the door, nothing happens. So if you don’t hear from me again about this, I knocked and nothing happened.

Songbirds Say Mountain Lions Are STALKING People

Alice to Songbirds: You guys. Is there any [Mountain Lion] right there?
Songbird [warning loudly]: THEY’RE STALK-ing PEO-ple!

Alice: They’re on the other side, right? Do they come jumping out?
Songbird [totally exasperated]: STUPID DEAR G-D WO-man! STU-pid Woman!

Alice: They come over to here? Okay. Okay. I’m not going that way.
Songbird [totally exasperated]: Very good! She’s not LIS-tening to me!

Alice: I’m going this way. Okay. Only two [Mountain Lions].
Songbird 1 [totally exasperated]: Ex-ACT-ly!

Hawk (aka the ‘Jesus Christ Bird’ per Songbirds) says: Fear Fear Fear Fear

Alice: Hawk, You want to say that again? Fear, fear, fear, fear.
Songbird: He said Dear Dear Dear Dear, He’s here!

Songbird: Jesus Christ Bird [Hawk] just said, “Fear, Fear, Fear, Fear.” He’s NOT scaring you. He said that as a warning.
Alice: Hawk said, “Fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear.”
Okay, I got it.
Songbird: Jesus Christ Bird is REAL-ly WARN-ing you!

Songbird: Jesus Christ Bird tries to WARN you!
Alice: Thanks, Birds. I appreciate your help.

Alice: You guys are terrific. I don’t know where I’d be without you. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thanks to everybody.
Songbird [quite het up]: Jesus Christ Bird, please ex-PLAIN things. She REAL-ly doesn’t under-STAND what you’re SAY-ing.

Alice: Bye. Bye. See you later. Bye.
Songbird [het up]: Jesus Christ Bird, please tell her she should REAL-ly LEAVE RIGHT away!

. . . . .

Alice to Readers: And the Contact Station is closed. This is National Park Service. It’s always closed though.

Mountain Lion: She looks quite tasty!

Mountain Lion [quietly]: She looks quite tasty.
Songbird: She says she’s not supposted to be here.
[Another Songbird repeats this.]
Mountain Lion [more loudly]: She DOES-n’t know we’re here.
Alice to Readers: I’m not seeing anything.

Have Mountain Lions been raiding walkers on the access road?

Alice to Readers: So what I’m getting subterraineanly on the ‘hocus pocus’ plane is that right around here, nobody’s supposed to park. Nobody’s supposed to go anywhere because they’re [the Mountain Lions are] all massed over there, and they’re making … what do they call it? [forays!] … They’re raiding over here after the people get out of the cars, but that it’s okay to go down [the road] there.

Story of Two White Dogs and a Lady Who Disappeared 

But on the ‘hocus pocus’ plane, I heard that there was a lady down there who was walking two white Dogs. Then one day, one white dog disappeared while she was walking. And the next day, the other white dog disappeared while she was walking.

And finally, the day came when she went for a walk, and she never came home to her husband. So, I don’t see how having the horse tours down that way is going to help the situation at all. But I’m going down there. We’ll see what happens.

Mountain Lion Explains: That’s Woman. Good for eating!

Mother Mountain Lion [huffing, windy voice; speaking to Young Mountain Lions jocularly]: That’s WO-man. Good for EAT-ing.
Another Mountain Lion disguises this communication by saying to Alice: Oh! You’re so beautiful! [Trickster!]
Nanday: DO NOT EAT those Women!
Nanday:That BAS-tard MOUNTAIN Lion!
[melding this word with the word ‘BAS-tard’] said that thing.

Don’t go down by the creek!

Alice to Readers: I asked particularly if I could go down towards the water over there, and what I heard on the ‘hocus pocus’ plane was, “That’s a wrong place to be down there.”

The Bird said, “There’s a very bad being down there.”

You remember I took that path down there not too long ago and I took a picture down that way, and now I can’t go down there anymore.

Have the Mountain Lions killed all the Deer?

So here you have .. see? … another orange sign. It says, ‘Detour Horse Access to Paramount Trails’. They used to always park right here in this parking lot, but now they say, I guess, [that] the horses have to go down that way. Maybe they can park here, but they have to go down that way.

Maybe they can’t leave any horses right here. Maybe the Mountain Lions have killed all of the Deer and now they’re after the Horses, too. And the Babies and the Dogs and the Ladies and the People who sleep here at night. That’s what I think.

I’m getting in the car because the birds have stopped talking. That’s a very bad sign.

[This is telepathic input to do with the astral or ‘hocus pocus’ plane.]
I got a lot of negative press right now. They said, “Just go away.” And not only that, but they said, “Don’t go over to that other ranch across the road either.”

I don’t know what to do. I’m going to the Beach.

Story of the Mother Whose Baby Was Lost

Yes. As to this lady whose baby was lost. the guy is still traumatized. On the ‘hocus pocus’ plane he said that the baby was only 4 months old, [and] in a baby carriage, and his mom was peramulating with it along that road, I guess … and there was nobody there with her. It was just them.

And [the story goes] that they [the Mountain Lions] caught the baby and went off … and all he ever found was its head. Gross out! Terrible situation! [Could this possibly be true?]

Let’s Break the Code of Silence!

The funny thing is that they won’t talk about it. They’re keeping it secret. They have a concern, I think, about lawsuits and so forth. [That’s if the story is true.]

Of course, lawsuits are a terrible idea [with regard] to the Park System, which is already greatly understaffed and underpaid. It’s a terrible idea.

We should all help the Park System out in this terrible catastrophe, I feel, and not create a threat for them so that they can be transparent about what’s going on and just let everybody know, so that we can steer clear, you know.

That’s what I think. I feel that to be true. I hope they’ll take that into consideration.

Reagan Ranch – Are the Horseback riders safe? 

Hey, look! [The horseback riders are] parking over here at Reagan Ranch. I’ll ask them. We’ll see what the story is, because it used to be [that they parked] over there at Paramount Ranch.

[I had a concern that the Mountain Lions might attack the riders or their Horses on the trail. I chickened out on talking with them.]

Rocky Oaks Loop Trail – Too Many Mountain Lions!

Alice to Readers: So, you guys know about this place, right? I dare not get [too far out of the car].

First, there’s two Mountain Lions, three Mountain Lions over here.
Mountain Lion [complacently]: ROAR, Alice.
Alice to Readers [continuing]: I’ll just take a look there.

Over this way, there was an older female Mountain Lion [who was] right in the intersection between Mulholland and Kanan. Not there, but near there. And she was saying she wished I didn’t know she were there. And over here was another Mountain Lion, an older Mountain Lion that was just waiting.

It said, “There’s a woman there [referring to me].”

And so I said, “Are you nearby?”

And it said, “No.” And then it intimated that it might not be telling the truth.

And there’s another one over here.

Alice to Mountain Lion: How old are you?
Songbird: FIVE YEAR-R-R-RS.
Mountain Lion [simultaneously]: Five Years of age [sounds younger].

The other one [is] over here. Maybe not.
Mountain Lion: I AM over here.

So I’m saying, Don’t go to Rocky Oaks Trail right now. Okay? Take my word for it. Don’t use a restroom there.

Psychology of the Hunt and the Kill 

So here I am still over here at Rocky Oaks, and I was just explaining to someone … actually, I was speaking, but they were hearing me on the telepathic plane … I was explaining about what seemed to me to be the psychology of the the hunt and the kill for the Mountain Lions here in the Santa Monica Mountains.

And what I have to say is that it’s the same amount of energy that the Mountain Lion pack expends whether or not it makes a kill. If it intends to make the strike and the victim gets away, it’s the same amount of energy almost as if they actually grabbed the person and then killed the person.

And they don’t get anything to eat if they don’t make the kill. So, they’ve expended energy in a survival situation.

And in addition, that person that escapes might go and tell other people about their near encounter. And then everyone would be warned off from the hunting ground of the Mountain Lion pack that’s right here at Rocky Oaks. You see?

So the Mountain Lion, in reply to my long harangue, was saying, “Yes, in a survival economy, you have to be certain of your timing.” So now you know.

My Friends Say: “Steer Clear of Danger!” 

And that is why I got a comment from someone that I know for getting out of the car when he told me that the Mountain Lion was just down in the draw where the tree was rooted on the other side of the restrooms.

And I was explaining that they wait till the exact moment, you know? Probably the moment when I was about to enter the restroom would be the moment because my back would be turned. I would be entering the restroom and they could grab me.

But they wouldn’t strike when I was right near my car because there was that extra length of space that they had to traverse, and it was more in the open and not so close to the draw where they could pull the kill down.

I don’t think my friends care about that about strategy. They just care about me staying away from areas like this.

But I’m telling you that if you want to take photographs and warn people about it, you kind of have to get out of your car and show your terrain to them. [That] is all.

But you should be extra extra specially cautious,

It May Be Older Mountain Lions That Are Here Now 

These old ones … probably it’s easier pickings here, and so they can survive here. But they can’t fight off the young ones who are stronger. And so they have to be in a more populated area (which [offers] a greater risk for them of being detected). That’s what I think. They’ve been ostracized from the great mountain spaces to this place here.

Encinal Canyon Road just south of Zuma Ridge Motorway

I just talked to a Bird, a Songbird. It said there are four of them [four Mountain Lions] in this area. You remember this area here? Right past the work camp and the road that goes up the hill to Buzzard’s Roost? That’s the road there [shows the road] that goes up the hill.

Very informative Songbird says, “Don’t say what it is, but there are four of them in this area.”
Alice: What is it? Don’t say what?

Mountain Lion: Don’t talk abut the Mountain Lion.
Songbird: NEVER will I talk about the Mountain Lion.
Alice: Uh uh? Okay, I agree … Uh uh.
Mountain Lion [good-humoredly]: By the way, one of us
grabbed one of those hikers and it took nine days to eat it.
Nine days to eat it. And by that time it was really
very ROT-ten. Yes it was … very rotten.

Alice to Readers: Do you get it?
Mountain Lion [in a huffing voice, repeating my thoughts]: She says, “I see. They ARE eating people. They ARE grabbing people in the mountains. I guess I’d better move away from these horrible mountains right now.”
Alice to Songbirds: Are they [the Mountain Lions] down there?
They’re uphill? Are they grabbing the hikers?
They’re grabbing the hikers on the path?
Songbird to Alice: Yep, yep, yep. They ARE grabbing them.
[In the background, in a huffing, windy voice, the Mountain Lion is sleepily and happily repeating the story about how the hiker was caught and feasted upon for nine days.]
Alice to Songbirds: Are they grabbing the Deer here? The Deer here! There’s still some Deer here.
Songbird to Alice: He says there are no Deer here.

A Story for the Songbirds: No More Deer Elsewhere, and a Human Baby Grabbed

Alice to Songbirds: Down that way, all the Deer are eaten up.
Mountain Lion [dreamily] to Alice: D-mn right. They’ve [the Deer have] been eaten up.
Alice to Songbirds (continuing): They’re [the Mountain Lions are] grabbing some human Babies. [That’s] at Paramount Ranch. Paramount Ranch.

Alice to the Songbirds: Thanks for your intel. Thanks very much for your information and news.

Songbird to other Songbirds: She’s leaving.
Alice to the Songbirds: Thank you, dudes.
Songbird: We thank you.
Alice: Bless you.
Songbird: Fear fear is a mutual kind of thing.
Hawk [a piercing cry]: Fear. Fear.
Alice: Fear. Fear. Right.

Alice to the Songbirds: I won’t BE here as soon as I hear,
“Fear, Fear …” I agree. Did you hear anything?
Songbird: I did not.

Alice: I’m going to go anyway, okay?
Songbird: Okay.
Alice: It’s real spooky here right now.
Songbird: Yep yep yep yep yep yep yep.

Alice: I got it. The Hawk says, “Fear,  fear, fear, fear,
fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear.” And I got to get out of here!
Mountain Lion [grumbling]: You really make me angry when you say things like that.
Scrub Jay: Yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep.

If the Hawk says ‘Fear’, Alice will get out of here!

I’m going to go anyway, okay? It’s real spooky here right now. I got it. The Hawk says, “Fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear.” And I got to get out of here!

Scrub Jay: Yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep.

Alice to Readers: So, I was talking to the Songbird up on the hill just now, and we were talking about how the Hawk could warn about Mountain Lion attacks, you know, [shhh … quiet!] Mountain Lion attacks.

And I said, “I got it. Thank you very much, about listening for the Hawks.”

And then I said, “If the Hawk says, ‘Fear’, Alice will get out of here.”

And they thought that was so funny. They just went on about it and they started laughing.

“Fear, fear, fear, fear. Alice will get out of here.”

Mountain Lions Have Learned to Open Car Doors? 

Did I ever just get the important news from this very interesting Bird up here! Right.

Alice to Songbirds: What kind of Bird is it?

Kestrel? A Kestrel!
Alice to Readers: It’s very feisty Kestrel.
Songbird says that Kestral says: You are very SER-ious.

I asked it if the Mountain Lions know how to get into cars, and it said, “Yes. They open the cars right up now.” So I asked it visually, you know, clairvoyantly, if they know how to put their claw around the car door and open it up if it’s partly open? And it said, “Yes.”

Alice to Kestrel: Can they get in the roof? … Not in the roof?
Kestrel: No. They can’t get in the roof.

Alice to Kestrel: They can reach in if the window’s down?
Kestrel: Yes.
Alice to Kestrel: Yes?
Kestrel: Yes.
Alice to Readers: Yes. What …

Alice to Readers: Okay. So, that Songbird over there that’s very quiet said … You can’t hear it [You can’t hear those Songbirds]. They’re so quiet …

It said, “Then they reach in the window and pull ‘it’ out. First they strike with their claw if the window’s open. Then they reach in the window and pull ‘it’ out.”

Alice to Songbirds: Thanks. You guys stay safe, okay?

Songbird re Mountain Lions: To Hear Is to Obey! 

I was getting right ready to leave this place and I heard a baritone voice of a Mountain Lion, a male Mountain Lion just in the flower of manhood. And it said, “You guys, Don’t give all our secrets up!”

To hear (I’d say) is to obey amongst the Songbirds … and [that applies to] me too. Well, kind of …

Mountain Lion [slurring its words}: COME OVER HERE NOW!
Alice to Mountain Lion: QUIT that!

Backbone Trail Access at Encinal Canyon Road

Mountain Lion to Alice [in a huffing voice]: What’s your name? … Dharm Darshan Kaur, you are in Mountain Lion territory, and you need to get out of here right away …
Alice to Readers: So I was just going through the draw in the mountains to get to this place where that club was that closed after the big fire years ago and hasn’t reopened.
[I am speaking of Encinal Canyon Road at Clubhouse Drive.]

Mountain Lion [continuing]: You need to get out of this country. There are Mountain Lions ALL OVER the mountains right here, and they eat people all the time.
Alice to Readers [continuing]: And on the other side of the road I heard a male Mountain Lion say there are four Mountain Lions in every area of this mountain.

Alice to Readers [continuing]: And I was just coming to this place. [This place where I am now is known as Backbone Trail Access at Encinal Canyon Road.] You may remember this place as a place where …

Mountain Lion to Alice: You are in a Mountain Lion area.
Songbird chirps a warning chirp for Alice.
Mountain Lion [continuing]: You must GO AWAY RIGHT NOW.
Songbird to Alice [loudly, nearby]: Stop! Stop! Stop! … Stop! Stop! Stop!

Alice to Songbirds: Okay, they already caught something. Did they get as much as they need right now, do you think?

Mountain Lion to Alice: We got a lot, but we don’t have to tell anybody.
Alice to Songbirds [continuing]: Or they’re waiting for something to eat?

Alice to Readers: That’s the Bird telling me.
Alice to Songbirds: You’re not sure? Okay.
Mountain Lion: Why did I tell her that I got a lot? … I got it!
[Alice: Got what, I wonder?]

Story: Listen to the Birds and Leave Quickly When They Fall Silent!

This is the place that I filmed the video about when I first really found out how dangerous the Mountain Lions were. I was going up this trail … coming back down this trail, really. [I’ll] see if I can find it. Yeah, that trail [shows trailhead].

I was coming back down and this big Bird kept going berserk telling me how dangerous everything was. And it turned out later that there were three or four Mountain Lions tracking me, a female and some young ones right then, and closing in on me. And that caused the Bird to go berserk.

When Birds go crazy like that … and in your face … and keep following you and yelling at you, it’s really an important sign to stay away or to go away as soon as possible. Anyway, this is that place.

Backbone Trail Access South of Encinal Canyon Road

On the other side of the road just up by that telephone pole is the trailhead [for the trail] that goes down to the place where I filmed the Lion Song. [That is Backbone Trail Access south of Encinal Canyon Road.]

I expect that’s crawling with [Mountain] Lions now because that’s a riparian area and they would really like the water and the prey that are attracted to drink down there. Down that way [zooms in] you go down.

Cars Left at Trailhead Might Point to Mountain Lion Kills?

Alice to Readers: Let’s see. There’s hardly any cars
here. I wonder if you could tell by looking at the cars that are left at the trailheads here at the Backbone Trail of the Santa Monica Mountains, …
Mountain Lion [in a gruff, low voice, speaking simultaneously with me] to Songbird: Songbird, I am getting very angry.
Songbird: Yep!

Alice to Readers [continuing]: … every week or so … you know, derelict cars that are left here? … Maybe you could tell how many kills there have been that have otherwise gone unnoticed. That’s my thought. That’s just for the rangers and people like that who care about this, …
Mountain Lion to Songbirds: She knows Mountain Lion is here, but she cannot hear him. Would you tell this Woman she’s in very grave danger right now?

Alice to Readers: … the volunteers. [Shows location name on a sign.] So, this is the Backbone Trail at Encinal Canyon Trailhead.
Mountain Lion to Songbird [speaking simultaneously with me]: I am very angry and I and the other Mountain Lion will be creeping up and we may eat her all up.
Songbird 1 to Songbird 2: You should say, ‘Eat up’.
Songbird 2 to Alice: EAT her all up!
Alice to Songbird: Did you see something?
Mountain Lion: YEP! Eat her up, he said.
Alice to Songbird: What?
Songbird 1: She can’t hear ‘Eat up’.

Songbird 2: Seven of them EAT YOU ALL UP.
Alice to Readers: Seven of them closing in! I’m going to go. Alice to Songbirds: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Bird. I’m so grateful.
Songbird 1 to Songbird 2: She says she’s grateful!
Mountain Lion to Songbird: I thank you too.

Alice to herself: Seven. [Songbird] can count to seven. I didn’t know. I could barely count to seven myself. I’m just leaving.

Red Tailed Hawks Are Circling

Uh, You’ll see up there … Vultures circling [above] the top [of the mountain] there. I would look up there for remains of whatever it is that they’re circling after.

No, those are Hawks, right? Yeah, Hawks. Never mind. It looks like Red Tailed Hawk. I’m so sorry.

Hummingbird Lays It on the Line

Hummingbird to Alice: That Mountain Lion will eat you guys all up.
He said he will eat you up. Yes, he did. He did say he would do that.
Alice [repeating the Hummingbird]: Eat you guys all up?
Hummingbird: Yes, he would!

Alice to Readers: A car was just going by, and a little bit older male Mountain Lion from over here joined in its voice with the roar of the car and said, “Eat you guys all up.”

On Scaring Mountain Lions Away by Speaking in a Very Low Voice

And just a little earlier, I was talking to a female Mountain Lion with a sweet voice. I said, “How old are you?” And she said, “One year old.” And I said, “Oh! Strong, fierce Lioness.” And because I spoke in a low voice, she said, “I’m just going away right now.”

Do Mountain Lions Attack People While They Are Driving Their Cars? 

As I entered the parking lot here at Encinal Canyon Trailhead for the Backbone Trail for the Santa Monica Mountains, on the other side of the road there was another Lioness. Couldn’t see it, right? But I asked it … because I had my window open.

I said, “Do the Mountain Lions ever attack the people in the cars with the windows down as the cars are driving?”

And she said, “No, not while driving. We wait until you stop in the parking lot.”

So, here I am in the parking lot.

Can Mountain Lions and Songbirds Count to Seven?

Oh, one more update from the parking lot here.  I was just asking the Songbirds from inside the car: “I didn’t know you could [count] to seven!” The Songbirds didn’t answer.

And then the a Mountain Lion lady over that way closer to the restrooms … she was in a kind of a jocular mood, a jesting mood, and she pretended she was the Songbird replying, and she said, “We heard that from someone else.”

And I said, “Who’d you hear it from?”

And she said she would rather not say.

Are there Mountain Lions at the Beach? 

Since the Mountain Lions are so talkative hereabouts, before I left the parking lot I asked … since I was thinking of going down to the Beach … I said are there Mountain Lions down at the Beach (because I don’t want to assume too much).

And that very same jesting female Mountain Lion, maybe 3 years of age, said, “Not in the daytime, Alice, but at night we go down to the Beach.” So that’s something to keep in mind.

Is the Mountain Lion Male or Female? Young or Old?

And I noticed another thing: All the Mountain Lions hereabouts have different ways of speaking. So you can tell one from the other and whether they’re male or female, and pretty much how old they are, just by listening to their voices.

North of Charmlee Wilderness Park – Mountain Lion Attack on a Woman 

Well, I was just going along the road here and I [asked the Songbirds] up the hill.

There was a house … I can’t say exactly where. And I asked how it was going up there, because they’re very exposed to the wilderness up there.

And I heard a male voice that said, “A ghastly thing happened here.”

And I said, “What was that?” And he said, “My wife got bit by a Mountain Lion.”

And I said, “What happened then?” and he said, “She can’t walk anymore.”

And then a lady’s voice came in and said,  “We did kill the Mountain Lion, but he did destroy my ‘antibular cortex’.I have no idea what that is. I probably got it wrong.
[I looked it up. It’s ‘mandibular cortex’ … the lower jaw.]

So that’s this story here. Are we [ever] running into a ton of stories today!

. . . . .

I thought I’d go to this next place where I used to walk … which seems impossible now … and if there’s not too many people there, I’m going to play some Viking music for the Mountain Lions and see if anybody shows up. So, we’ll see what happens.

Charmlee Wilderness Park

Here we are … Charmlee Wilderness Park. We’ll see what gives. Here I heard a Mountain Lion muttering … a male, a little older. It said, “For the first time I got what’s going on.”

It got my name … grabbed my name and said, “Alice Clagett doesn’t know half of what is going on.” There’s a bunch of cars here. I don’t think [playing the Viking music] will work because of so many cars.

South of Charmlee Wilderness Park – Don’t stop here! 

Yeah. All along this brief stretch of ground past Charmlee, I had my window down and the Birds were warning me to stay away from here.

Here where this house is over here, the Songbirds pointed [and said] the Mountain Lions are all over there and down there [to both sides of the road].

They said, “Don’t stop here.”

I believe them. You may not believe them, but you might be not be counted amongst the survivors if you fail to believe.

Encinal Canyon Road at Avenida de la Encinal (near the Beach)

Well, here I am. There’s a view of the Pacific and that [street] might be Rancho de … Darn it, I can’t see [the street sign]. Sorry. I don’t know.
Songbird to Alice: Rancho de la Encinal, Dharm Dee.
We think that’s Rancho de la Encinal. We know that road.
Alice to Readers: There’s a road there. A private road probably.

Alice to Readers [continuing]: No,  maybe not. I was talking to the Birds here
because that’s my source of information.
[The Songbirds here have amazingly good verbal skills.]
I said, “How’s it going, dudes?
Songbird said: “Very good. Thank you very much.”

Alice: “How’s the Mountain Lions here?”
Songbird 1: She says, “Don’t SAY ‘Mountain Lions’. You’ll at-TRACT them.”
Songbird 2: The Birdies Birdies Birdies will agree on that one.
Alice to Readers: And they [the Songbirds] said, “Good.” They said, “Six here.”
And then there was kind of hysterical laughter over there.

Songbird to Alice: Right. There WAS that.
Alice to Songbirds: Over there?
Alice to herself: There’s only three here.
Alice to Readers: And then they said, “Don’t use those words.
That’ll attract the Mountain Lions.”

Whoops. They didn’t say that. [They said,] “Don’t talk about the Mountain Lions.”

Alice to Songbirds: They said that’ll attract them over here? Who said that? Not over there … down this way!

Alice to Songbirds: Thank you. Thank you, Birds. You’re lifesavers, truly. Thank you so much. I’m very very grateful.

Alice to Readers: Got to go. Going to go down by the ocean and see whether there’s any Mountain Lions down there.”

Pacific Coast Highway – What the Dog Said About the Mountain Lions

I was just talking to a human’s Dog down there. It said there are no Mountain Lions down at the Beach. And I said … since I’m ever interested in keeping the Dogs informed, just as they are interested in helping me out with their great way of smelling things from afar …

I said, “I heard from a male Mountain Lion that they are down there, but at night.” And the Dog said, “That’ll explain those half-eaten people down there.”

What Are the Mountain Lions Eating at the Beach? 

And there was one other thing that went on. What was that about? I forget.

[There are more very verbally skilled Songbirds here. They are using a uniquely endearing pattern of speech repetition by threes, as you will see.]
Songbird to Alice: You forget get get? I forget get too. By the way, it was the PEO-ple who said that about the Mountain Lions.
Alice repeats what Songbirds are saying: “The people said that the Mountain …?”
Alice to Readers: So it wasn’t a dog [that said it]?

Alice to Readers [continuing]: It was the people that said that.
Mountain Lion roars with the car sound: I am ROAR-ing, Dharm Dee.

Songbird and Dog to Alice: It was about what they eat. Yep, yep!
Mountain Lion [along with car sound]: ROAR-R-RING.
Alice to Readers: Oh yeah. So I was talking to the Birds after that
and I said, “What are the Mountain Lions doing down there?”

Alice to Readers [continuing]: What do they eat down there?” And they said …
One of them said, “Mussels!” … and the other one said, “Anything at all!”
Both are probably true.

Alice to Songbirds: “Are they eating people too?
Songbird 1 to Alice: It could could could could could be true.
Songbird 2: It MIGHT be true.
Songbird 3: They they they might eat any any any thing they can.
Songbird 4: Right right right. They’re eating any any any thing.
Alice to Readers: That Bird just said apparently …

Alice to Readers [continued]: … they were eating everything they can?
Alice to Songbirds: “Are they really hungry?”

Songbird 1 to Alice:Yeah, they’re VER-y hungry.
Songbird 2: They’re Great Big things.

Story for the Songbirds: How the Mountain Lions Were Creeping Up

Alice to Songbirds: I heard at one place that I visited … that was at Encinal Canyon, you know … ‘Los Leones’, where I did the “Lion Song,” right around that area … First the Birds said, “Don’t worry, they [the Mountain Lions] had something to eat right now.” And I said, “Are you completely sure that they’re not hungry at all?”

And then they stopped and listened and they said, “Well, some were creeping up.”
Songbird: Thank you for telling that story! CREEP-ing up? Dear Dear dear dear dear!
Alice to Songbirds: So, I don’t know if they wanted to eat or if they just were curious, but [I felt it was] time to leave, you know? Humans aren’t quick. They can’t fly like Birds.
Songbird: Jeepers!
Alice: I know!

Alice to Readers: I’m sorry I can’t get all the Bird conversation in here. See, there’s traffic that’s making a noise. Then there’s Mountain Lions roaring here and there. And then the Birds are talking, but quite naturally, because of the dire situation in which we find ourselves, they’re speaking in a quite a subdued manner.

Songbird to Alice: Right, right, right.

Alice to Songbirds: Dudes, I’m going to go on. Okay. No Mountain Lions up there? … or down there.
[Songbirds say, and I repeat,] “Down there [nearer the Beach].”
Alice to herself: Okay. Got it.

Telepathic Conversation About a Mountain Lion Leaping on Someone’s Roof

So, I was coming down the mountain a little while back and I saw a house on the slope over this way and I talked to the owner there.

I said, “You all know what the score is, don’t you?” And he said, “Yeah, Go inside and keep all the doors locked.”

And then he and I were both thinking maybe he could go up on top of the roof and it would be okay. And then he and I both saw a vision of a Mountain Lion leaping silently up onto the roof, right?

And then he imagined that he had a moving platform that went down from the roof into the attic of the house and glass doors that closed together above it.

And then we both imagined the 5 inch [really just 2 inches max] claws of the Mountain Lion … one of them grabbed hold of the the two doors so they couldn’t completely close.

And then the guy behind me in a fancy car … he may have been a movie producer …  visualized that the the Mountain Lion was moving its claw back and forth like that [shows motion] and got two more claws in there. Totally Hollywood, isn’t it?

And so then I tried hysterical laughter. It seemed to help a lot. And he thought that was pretty funny. And that’s what the Songbirds have been doing when they’re close to the Mountain Lions and I talk to them … kind of a hysterical titter. But it helps, you know; it releases tension. That’s what I think.

Near El Pescador State Beach – Camping Children Killed by Mountain Lions? 

I’m on PCH [Pacific Coast Highway] now and I heard a kindly man on the ‘hocus pocus’ plane, the astral plane. He said, “Uh, I’m all right. They just got some children of mine, that’s all.”

I said, “Oh, what happened?”

He said, “They were camping out and they got them.”

Stress Responses: Fight, Flight, Freeze, Faint, or Flop

Now, most people when it comes to post-traumatic stress, they pick fainting or flopping instead of fighting or flying away. Those are the most popular responses, you know? It’s important to pick the right response.

Transparency is important to our Park System 

And if we want to keep our National Parks, we have to let people know. That’s what I think … because the longer you wait, the greater the lawsuit. I can see it now.

We don’t want our National Parks to be closed. We don’t want the Santa Monica Mountains to be closed.

We have to let people know. That’s a fact. We have to tell people so they can stay out of the way and not get involved in this carnage.

You heard my words, but we don’t know if it’s true or not until somebody speaks up and speaks the truth.

Near Morning View Drive at Zuma Beach

I just passed Morning View on PCH. I’m on on my way south to Point Dume. The Beach is over here … the other beach [Zuma Beach]. And I heard two young Mountain Lions, a female and a male, maybe two years old each. They’re inhabiting [the area] over that way [on the landward side of the road].

I see that they come down the draws at night to the Beach. They can get through the same way that the pedestrians can get through.

Homeowners and Mountain Lions Warring for the Land? 

I was talking to the male who was over by Morning View. He said, “A homeowner killed one of them last week.” I said to the male, it’s a war for the territory here, huh? Warring for the land.” And he said, “Yes.”

So the people and the Mountain Lions are warring. The Mountain Lions are roaring, but the people and the Mountain Lions are warring for the land here. This is Malibu, I think. Very northernmost part.

Zuma Beach – Point Dume State Beach – A Musical Ground Squirrel 

I saw two young Ground Squirrels down by the water over there. I was fording a small creek and I said to one of them, I said, “Hey, little guy, be safe, okay?” And in a musical voice, the young Ground Squirrel said, “I am safe. Thank you very much.” Like that, musically. He’s going to be a great musician one day.

Conclusion

Just as a reminder, just last week I offered a video that suggests that in certain areas of the Santa Monica Mountains, there’s been less Mountain Lions and also there may have been an exodus of some Mountain Lions to the north … north of the Santa Monica Mountains into the far ranges of California. And so the news that you see in this video has been mitigated by that new news update.

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

In love, light and joy,

THE  STORY: PATHETICALLY BRAVE CHIHUAHUA CONFRONTS FEROCIOUS OWL

Dear Ones,

Take a look at this video …

Video: “The Chihuahua Realized Who’s the Boss,” by AI Sensei, mazurkeyvich studio, 1 February 2026 … https://www.youtube.com/shorts/OBM43PrXLXI ..

I think the frightened dog is saying: “I’m SCARED that you will HURT her” (likely speaking of a woman nearby).

The dog may be right. Despite their innocuous public image, owls are fearsome predators of the night. For instance, the Great Horned Owl of the Santa Monica Mountains in California is considered an Apex Predator of the sky.

Which do you feel is what the Chihuahua said?

Here is the first translation of what the Chihuahua said: “I’m SCARED that you will HURT her”

Here is an alternate translation: “Owl! Owl, please don’t hurt me!”

Caveat: Since the author is AI Sensei, maybe this is just an AI skit?

 


WHY ARE OWLS APEX PREDATORS?

Here is what Google AI has to say about that …

Owls  are considered apex predators in the Santa Monica Mountains primarily because they occupy the top of the nocturnal food chain, with virtually no natural predators that hunt them as adults in this region. While mountain lions and coyotes dominate the “day shift” or dusk, owls—specifically the Great Horned Owl —rule the night with specialized biological advantages that make them nearly untouchable. 

Pepperdine Graphic +4

Key Reasons for Their Apex Status

  • Lack of Natural Predators: As adults, large owls like the 

Great Horned Owl

 have no consistent natural enemies in the Santa Monica Mountains. They are even known to prey on other smaller owl species and raptors, further cementing their position at the top.

  • Specialized Hunting Arsenal:
    • Silent Flight: Fringed feathers break up air turbulence, allowing them to ambush prey without being heard.
    • Immense Power

Great Horned Owls

 have a grip strength of roughly 500 psi, enough to crush the bones of their prey instantly.

    • Advanced Sensory Perception: Their eyes are designed for extreme low-light conditions, and asymmetrical ear openings allow them to triangulate the exact location of prey in total darkness.
  • Diverse and Flexible Diet: They are “generalist” predators, meaning they can eat almost anything that moves. In the Santa Monica Mountains, their diet ranges from small rodents like mice and gophers to larger animals like skunks, rabbits, and even other birds.
  • Ecosystem Regulators: By controlling rodent populations (a single Barn Owl can eat over 3,000 rodents a year), they shape the entire local environment, influencing everything from plant survival to the behavior of other small animals.” –Google AI

 


WHY ARE OWLS THE ENEMIES OF HAWKS AND RAVENS?

I asked Google AI: Do owls in the Santa Monica Mountains target baby hawks and baby ravens while hunting for food at night?

Google AI said: “Yes, owls—particularly Great Horned Owls in the Santa Monica Mountains—are known to target baby hawks, baby ravens, and other raptor nestlings at night. Because owls are specialized nocturnal hunters, they prey on vulnerable nestlings and roosting young, which is why diurnal birds like ravens and hawks aggressively mob owls during the day. 

Facebook +4

Key Details on Owl Predation:

  • Targeting Nestlings: Owls, notably the Great Horned Owl, frequently hunt other raptors’ nestlings, including Red-tailed Hawks, Osprey, and raven chicks.
  • Nighttime Vulnerability: Ravens and crows mob owls during the day to prevent them from returning at night when the owls have a distinct advantage.
  • Local Impact: In California, this intense rivalry means owls will kill and consume unattended raven chicks, often leading to fierce, day-long battles.
  • Specialized Hunting: According to the NPS Santa Monica Mountains, raptors in the area are meat-eaters, and larger owls often prey on smaller birds and raptors. 

Facebook +5

Owls in the region, such as those discussed on Facebook’s High Desert Wildlife, will target ravens, a behavior that causes them to be mobbed by crows and ravens during the day to protect their young.”

 


DO OWLS ATTACK DOGS?

Yes! Especially chihuahuas and other very small dogs. Read on …

“While owl  attacks on dogs are rare, they do occur, particularly involving small breeds. Owls are opportunistic apex predators and may mistake a small dog for natural prey like a rabbit or large rodent. 

Wag! +3

Risk Factors for Dogs

  • Dog Size: Dogs weighing under 10 pounds (e.g., Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Toy Poodles) are at the highest risk. While an owl weighing roughly 3 pounds can rarely fly away with more than 5–9 pounds, they can still seriously injure or kill dogs weighing up to 20 pounds.
  • Nocturnal Activity: Most attacks happen between dusk and dawn when owls are most active.
  • Nesting Season: From March to May, owls are more territorial and aggressive while protecting their young.
  • Primary Culprit: In the Santa Monica Mountains and across North America, the Great Horned Owl is the only species considered a significant threat to small pets due to its size and power.” –Google AI

 


DO OWLS ATTACK PEOPLE?

The answer is ‘Yes’! To find out what to do if attacked, read on …

“Owls generally avoid humans because we are much larger and stronger than them. However, owls do occasionally attack people, primarily due to territorial defense or mistaken identity. While these incidents are rare, they can cause serious lacerations with their sharp talons. 

YouTube +5

Why Owls Attack Humans

  • Territorial Defense: This is the most common reason, especially during nesting season (March to May). Owls like the Great Horned and Barred Owl are fiercely protective and may dive-bomb anyone perceived as a threat to their young.
  • Mistaken Identity: Young or inexperienced owls may mistake human features for prey. A common example is a bobbing ponytail on a jogger, which an owl might confuse for a squirrel or rabbit.
  • Starvation: Juvenile owls that have recently left the nest (August to September) are often poor hunters and may strike at anything that moves out of desperation. 

Seven Days Vermont +5

Common Attack Patterns

  • Silent Strikes: Because of their specialized feathers, owls fly silently. Most victims report feeling a sudden “thud” or “blow” to the back of the head without any warning.
  • Dive-Bombing: Owls often swoop down repeatedly to drive a person out of their territory.
  • Targeting the Head: Most attacks are directed at the head, neck, or shoulders. 

YouTube +4

How to Stay Safe

  • Wear a Hat: If you are in an area with known owl activity, a broad-brimmed hat or a helmet can protect your head from talons.
  • Tuck Your Hair: If you have a ponytail, tuck it under a hat or headband so it doesn’t resemble prey.
  • Use an Umbrella: Carrying an open umbrella above your head provides a physical barrier and a confusing target for an owl.
  • Face the Owl: If you spot an owl acting aggressively, keep your eyes on it and back away slowly. They are less likely to strike if they know they’ve been spotted.
  • Avoid Known Nesting Sites: If local trail signs or apps like Nextdoor report an aggressive owl, avoid that specific trail until the nesting season ends. 

YouTube +8

While injuries like deep scratches are possible, there are virtually no recorded modern fatalities caused directly by an owl attack on a human.” –Google AI

 


HOW LONG ARE THE CLAWS OF OWLS IN THE SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS?

Claws are 1.5 inches long. When owls catch prey, their claws rotate to two forward and two back for a crushing 8-inch-long grip. This vise-like grip is 3 times stronger than a strong, firm human handshake.

“In the Santa Monica Mountains, the length of an owl’s claws (talons) depends entirely on the species. The Great Horned Owl , the region’s largest owl, possesses the most formidable talons, which are often compared to those of a Golden Eagle in terms of relative size and power. 

Wikipedia +1

Talon Length by Species

Great Horned Owl

: These “apex hunters” have talons that typically measure about 1.5 inches long. While some anecdotal reports suggest they can grow up to 3 inches in very large individuals, the standard length for a mature adult is closer to 1.5 inches. Their total foot span when fully spread is roughly 8 inches across.

Barn Owl : A medium-sized species with a foot span of about 5 to 6 inches. Their talons are smaller and more slender than the Great Horned Owl’s, specialized for gripping agile rodents like voles and mice. They also have a unique serrated “comb” on their middle talon used for grooming.

Western Screech Owl : As the smallest common owl in the mountains, its talons are significantly smaller, roughly the size of a small songbird’s claws but much sharper and stronger for capturing large insects and small mammals. 

Wikipedia +8

Power and Grip

It isn’t just the length that makes these claws dangerous, but the pressure behind them:

  • Crushing Force: A Great Horned Owl  can exert between 300 and 500 psi of pressure. For comparison, a strong human handshake is about 80–150 psi.
  • Locking Mechanism: Owls have a “ratchet-like” mechanism in their feet that allows them to maintain a vice-like grip on prey without needing to constantly contract their muscles.
  • Zygodactyl Toes: They can rotate one toe backward, creating a 2-forward, 2-backward alignment that provides a more secure, circular grip for carrying heavy prey. 

Wikipedia +4 –Google AI

 


HOW LONG ARE MOUNTAIN LION CLAWS?

On the telepathic plane I heard yesterday while I was at Sage Ranch in the Simi Hills that Mountain Lion claws are 5 inches long. Google AI feels this is an exaggeration! For the straight skinny on these curved Mountain Lion claws, read on …

The claws of a mountain lion in the Santa Monica Mountains typically reach between 1.5 and 2 inches in length. Like most cats, these claws are fully retractable, which keeps them razor-sharp for hunting and climbing. 

Lions Tigers and Bears +4

Key Claw Specifications

  • Average Length: Most adult mountain lion claws measure around 1.5 to 2 inches.
  • Maximum Length: Exceptionally large individuals can have claws reaching up to 3 inches.
  • The “Dew Claw”: The largest claw is the dew claw, located on the inside of the front legs. It is used as a primary “hook” to snag and hold onto prey during an attack.
  • Measurement: Scientists and collectors typically measure claw length along the outside curve from the base to the tip. 

Lions Tigers and Bears +4

Comparison to Local Owls

While mountain lion claws are physically longer and thicker than owl talons, they serve different primary functions. 

Feature  Mountain Lion Claws Great Horned Owl Talons
Typical Length 1.5 – 2 inches ~1.5 inches
Visibility Retracted (hidden while walking) Always visible
Primary Use Climbing and gripping large prey Piercing and crushing small prey
Grip Force Powerful pulling/swiping force ~500 psi crushing pressure

Tracking Tip

When hiking in the Santa Monica Mountains, you will rarely see claw marks in a mountain lion’s footprint because they keep them retracted to stay quiet and sharp. If you see clear claw tips in a large paw print, it is much more likely to be from a coyote or a large dog

INTRODUCTION

Dear Ones,

Here is the question: How can I find out if the Santa Monica Mountains [staff] are hiding data on human kills by Mountain Lions so as to protect local Mountain Lions? The answer is below …

Alice’s words are in ochre.

HOW CAN I FIND OUT IF THE SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS STAFF ARE HIDING DATA ON HUMAN KILLS BY MOUNTAIN LIONS?

Dear Ones,

I asked Google AI: How can I find out if the Santa Monica Mountains [staff] are hiding data on human kills by Mountain Lions so as to protect local Mountain Lions?

Google AI said: To verify information regarding mountain lion attacks, you can cross-reference multiple independent databases maintained by state and federal agencies, which are legally required to report and track these incidents.

Verified Data Sources

  • California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW): This is the primary agency responsible for tracking and verifying all mountain lion-human attacks in California. They maintain a public list of Verified Mountain Lion-Human Attacks dating back to 1890. According to their records, there have been fewer than 50 verified attacks in California since 1890, with only six being fatal.
  • NPS Incident Reports: The National Park Service (NPS) publishes Incident Reports for the Santa Monica Mountains. These reports include all significant medical and safety events within the park, providing a secondary layer of data for verification.
  • State Law & Reporting Requirements: Under California law (FGC §4807), any mountain lion carcass must undergo a complete necropsy, with findings reported to the Fish and Game Commission and the State Legislature annually.

Publicly Documented Encounters

Recent high-profile incidents in the Santa Monica Mountains and nearby areas have been extensively covered by local news, showing that both fatal and non-fatal encounters are typically subject to public scrutiny:

  • Malibu Creek/Calabasas (2024-2025): Recent non-fatal attacks on children in Malibu and Calabasas were widely reported by major outlets like NBC Los Angeles and the Santa Monica Daily Press.
  • Solstice Canyon (2023): A hiker sustained minor injuries while protecting his dog from a mountain lion; this incident was reported by CBS News and the National Park Service.
  • P-56 Depredation (2020): When the NPS-tracked lion 

P-56

 was legally killed by a landowner after attacking livestock, the National Park Service issued a press release and was transparent about the loss of the animal, despite the potential for public backlash.

How to Request Unreported Data

If you suspect data is being withheld, you can use legal transparency tools to access internal records:

  • Freedom of Information Act (FOIA): You can submit a FOIA request to the National Park Service specifically for ranger logs, necropsy reports, or incident data for the Santa Monica Mountains.
  • California Public Records Act (CPRA): You can request internal communications or unredacted reports from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE ON HOW TO FILE A FOIA REQUEST SPECIFICALLY FOR SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS WILDLIFE INCIDENT LOGS

Google AI asked: Would you like a step-by-step guide on how to file a FOIA request specifically for Santa Monica Mountains wildlife incident logs?

I said: Yes.

Google AI said: To file a FOIA request for Santa Monica Mountains wildlife incident logs, submit a written request to the National Park Service (NPS) via FOIAonline or by email, specifically detailing the date range and location (e.g., Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area) of the records. Identify the specific incident logs requested and provide your contact information.

Step-by-Step Guide for Requesting Wildlife Logs

  1. Identify the Agency: For Santa Monica Mountains, the primary agency is the National Park Service (NPS), as it is a National Recreation Area. If dealing with specific state-regulated wildlife, you might also consider a California Public Records Act (CPRA) request to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
  2. Formulate Your Request: Write a clear, detailed request. Include “Freedom of Information Act Request” in the subject line.
  1. Example: “I am requesting all wildlife incident logs, including reports of human-wildlife conflict, animal injuries, or vehicle collisions, within the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, specifically between [Start Date] and [End Date].”
  1. Include Necessary Details:
  1. Your name, address, phone number, and email.
  2. The specific time frame.
  3. Any specific species (e.g., “mountain lion,” “coyote”) if relevant.
  1. Submit the Request:
  1. Best Method: Submit electronically via the FOIAonline portal or FOIAXpress.
  2. NPS FOIA Office: You can find contact information for the NPS FOIA officers to submit by email or mail.
  1. Be Prepared for Fees: Agencies may charge fees for searching and copying, particularly if it requires significant staff time.
  2. Follow Up: If you do not receive a response within 20 working days, or to check on the status, use the FOIA tracking number provided.

Note: The National Park Service handles federal land, while the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) uses GovQA for public records, which may overlap on incident tracking.

I liked and closed the thread.


CONCLUSION

I checked the first two links in the first question and feel they may be incomplete.

Filing an FOIA request, as suggested in the second question, seems to me to be a logical next step. Would any of my Readers like to give this a try?

Then there is always the avenue of social interactions. For instance, going on a local Sierra Club hike may yield fruitful results.

Here are local Angeles Chapter events … https://www.sierraclub.org/angeles/outings-events-schedule-activities/ ..

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

In love, light and joy
