SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

“Ruminations on La Tuna Canyon Mountain Lions”
By Alice B. Clagett

[See if you can hear the voices of the wild animals.
The voices of the Mountain Lions sound like the wind.
It is easy to mistake them for meaningless background sounds.]

[American painted lady butterfly]

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

I’m out here today pretty early in the morning at the La Tuna Canyon Trail overlooking the Great Pacific. And unless I’m mistaken, there are still quite a few Mountain Lions out this way.

So, the Mountain Lions are gone from Malibu Creek State Park. Yay. And pretty much gone from Paramount Ranch. But here in Tuna Canyon, there are still quite a few Mountain Lions … small ones. Large ones are over in the far range there, but they’re teaching the young ones over here. So, I would exercise normal caution.

Can you hear that? There’s an animal over there. It’s a predator. It’s a male predator. And it’s saying, “I am not a Mountain Lion. I am a Coyote.”

Who is to know? Because predators generally don’t tell the truth.

Can you hear this conversation? A human male, an alpha human male is talking to that voice, that predator voice. Can you hear it?

And it has ascertained that that’s a female Mountain Lion that pretends to be a Coyote because her children are very impressed with the Coyotes.

And the alpha male asked the female Mountain Lion, “Why is that?”

And she said, “Because they snap up everything around here.”

You see, you cannot trust the predators. They seldom tell the truth, especially those Coyotes and Foxes, and looks like Mountain Lions, too.

And it takes an alpha male human to get them to be truthful. And so, you need to ask one of those if you’re not an alpha male. Ask them to talk to them. Now you know,

You know, the female Mountain Lion didn’t say it exactly like that. I don’t know if I can say it like she did, but I’ll try.

She said, “I am a female Mountain Lion. But I say that I’m a Coyote because my children, …” What did she say? … “My children think they’re great.”

She didn’t say that, but that was the intonation she used: “I am a female Mountain Lion, but I say that I’m a Coyote because my children like that.” Something like that.

Alice to Songbird (who is voicing the concern of a Coyote): Don’t say anything, right? [i.e., about the Mountain Lions]

[Coyote: They (the Mountain Lions) may try to hurt you if you do anything like that.]

Alice to Songbird: Do they really do that or do they just think about it?

Alice (repeating what the Songbird says): Same thing.

Oh my. I’m so sorry. I won’t do that again. I promise. I promise I won’t. Okay. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Is that okay? Thank you for telling me. Thank you very much. You’re the greatest. Who are you?

There you are again. Thank you for talking with me. I’m deeply honored that you’re speaking to me. Thank you so much. Thank you. See you later then. I’m going down this way. See you. Bye. Bye.

[Can you hear what the Mountain Lion is saying each time I step? Can you hear him laughing?]

Alice to Readers: This is a spot right here in the trail that’s worth concern because there’s a lip of land right here over which a predator might course and downward towards a hiker on the road who then might quickly be hauled down over the side here and deep down into the ravine right there very quickly. So I say, “Look out there!” Yeah.

I think it’s Bobcats there though … right there … unless I am mistaken. But you know, Bobcats kind of think that they are [whispering] Mountain Lions. [In a regular voice:} Yeah, they really do. There’s a mix up there.

Oh, one just said, “We are their smaller cousins.”

I’m heading back at a steady pace. And just a little bit farther back along the trail, there’s another spot where I think Deer might come up from the lowlands and [then go] back down again. And I think that might be an ambush point as well.

I heard earlier from the Songbirds that the predators here mainly ambush Deer, but once they caught a [human] child, a pretty big child, they said, not small, but he was acting funny. So, I guess maybe he was drunk or maybe had had some marijuana and was off [on a hike] by himself. [I guess that] was the problem. Too bad, huh? Too bad.

So, I’m going to show you the spot that I think might be a danger point for the Deer and for children who are intoxicated.

Now, you see, I just came up this hill from down there in the ambush place for humans with the lip of land above it and the deep ravine on the other side. There’s someone hiking up that way from down by the ocean right now.

And here is a marker. It used to be a signpost or … no, it’s a pipe, right? It’s a pipe that ran alongside the road. Maybe an irrigation pipe.

And on the other side of that, you’ll notice just an awful lot of …

I think they might be …. Let’s see. No, these are just …

See, there’s turds here.

And I think these are turds, too. And I thought maybe they were Deer turds. What do you think?

[Apparently these are Deer scats, which are oval, rather than Rabbit scats, which are spherical.]

And so if the Deer are coming up this way all along here, they might be coming up from this ravine right here. And that might be a place where predators would haul them back down into that deep gorge there … If you get me.

See, it’s big enough to haul down a small Deer, but not a person. You’d have to haul them in just a particular way. I think more likely this is a Deer traverse point to get up to the road and across to other pastures without showing your head to the predators.

See? [There are] people coming up.

You know, there must be something that those Deer like to eat here on the high pasture,  because look here … There’s just turds everywhere. They must love it here.

Is that … I wonder if that’s giant Rabbits or if it’s Deer. What do you think?

Look here.

See, what do you think? Maybe it’s Rabbits.

So, on the psychic plane, I heard a man’s voice say, “There’s four or five Mountain Lions in that area.”

And then I heard … on the psychic plane, I heard these two lady hikers that were coming up, one of them said, “No, there’s no Mountain Lions here.”

But I think if by any chance there’s a lot of Rabbits or a lot of Deer up here, as indicated by these feces here, that there might be a good reason for Mountain Lions to come up here on La Tuna Canyon [Fire] Road out into the wastelands to the right of the trail, the great fire road there. What do you think?

I’m going just a little farther into the wastelands and then I’ll come back. If I don’t come back, you’ll know why.

So, there’s a female Mountain Lion and a male Mountain Lion … maybe a pair … that say that they haven’t been up this way in the wastelands for a while because the Deer haven’t been up this way for a while. And the male says, “We’re hanging out down by the ocean right now.”

I heard one of the Songbirds say, if you try to go down by the ocean … There’s a road that leads down from the water tower to the housing development on the cliff overlooking the ocean. And I heard a Songbird say that if you go down that way they were likely to attack a human being … I guess because so many people come up that way to the lookout at the water tower … young people trying to get away from their parents, I think, maybe after school and before dinner time.

So, I was wondering about the male and the female [Mountain Lions] on the road that goes from the water tower down to the housing development overlooking the ocean, as compared to what I had heard earlier about Mountain Lions in the far slopes on the right hand side of the road as you descend.

And so I asked over here … [at] the high mountains on the righthand side of the road. I asked over there and the gruff voice of an older male Mountain Lion said …

I asked whether the older Mountain Lions are on the high places like that. See? … up above there. I don’t know if you can see there’s another ridge up there?

And he said, “Yes,” in a gruff voice … a little bit phlegmy … that the older Mountain Lions are on the high places and that all the young ones are down in the low places.

Alice to Alpha Mountain Lion: Well, if I may ask, why are the young ones in the low places?

[Alpha Mountain Lion is responding. His voice is very faint and far away.]

Alice to Readers: Well, I don’t know if you could hear that [response] because it was whispered telepathically. That was a male Mountain Lion over this way on the other side, the left hand side of the fire trail as you descend to a canyon.

And it said, “They [the humans] catch them and kill them in the low places. But they don’t …

[Mountain Lion is replying. Can you hear it?]

… catch anything in these high-lying areas where my ancient people live.”

[Alpha Male Mountain Lion to Alice, laughing: D-mn right! They don’t!]

I guess they’re the top of the pile over there. The sorted out most severely alpha [Mountain] Lions of the group get the highest places.

And that other voice that I heard on the lefthand side of the road as you descend to a canyon … it was over this way, over that way, but farther than that. That voice came from a few miles farther on.

You see, the ocean is down there and other mountain ridges are over that way. And over here is the very famous Eucalyptus Grove where people go and sit. So now you have your bearings.

Dear Ones,

At 3:45 am this morning the western Coyotes in the Chatsworth Nature Preserve caught a Rabbit. One of the Coyote pups … a shy one … said they would give it to their Mother who would distribute some to each of them. It sounded to me like a small Rabbit.

Then at 6:20 am … just now, in fact … there was a big uproar and celebration by the eastern Coyote tribe. They were so jubilant that the western Coyote tribe joined in … although somewhat less enthusiastically, as I expect they figured they were not that likely to get much of the anticipated feast.

They said they caught a huge animal. Fearing the worst, I asked what kind of animal it was. One of the Coyote pups indicated with a clairvoyant video ‘short’ that it was not a bipedal walking animal. After a moment another Coyote pup said it was a burrowing animal.

A huge, burrowing animal, I wondered?

Then the second Coyote pup asked around, and said this huge catch was called a Porcupine.

I explained how the Coyotes needed to avoid the quills, but I don’t think the information stuck.

Then, doubting Thomas that I am, I looked this Porcupine up on the internet. I found out that there are Porcupines in Southern California, but they are exceedingly rare. That would account for the fact that the eastern Coyotes at first were not sure of the name of the animal they caught.

Io lux et pax nobiscum.

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

“Coyotes Catch Mother Rabbit”
By Alice B. Clagett

QUICK! Turn Audio Volume to High!

Mother Rabbit: I am a RABBIT!
Oh, God! Oh, God!
Why would you do this thing?

Coyote (exultantly): I CAUGHT a RABBIT!

Cricket expresses concern.

. . . . .

Baby Rabbit: Oh, God, Mama!
WHAT is going on?

Mother Rabbit (very muffled sound):
I don’t know. I think they’re going to kill me.

Cricket expresses concern.

. . . . .

Coyote Pup (excited, happy):
Yes, we are, Mama!
Mother Coyote (simultaneously):
Don’t tell him that!

Coyote Pup (laughing happily): Why not?

Cricket is getting upset.

. . . . .

Mother Rabbit: Oh, Dear God! How
could you DO this to me?

Cricket says (over and over again):
Please don’t listen.

Alice to Readers: They caught a Rabbit today.

. . . . .

Mother Coyote (sarcastically): Oh, Dear God!
They are KILLING that Baby’s Mother.
What will her children DO without their MOTHER?

Baby Rabbit (in a pitiful, high-pitched scream):
Dear, dear, dear! They KILLED HER!

Alice to Readers: There it was. There was that. It’s a Rabbit.

Mother Rabbit to Baby Rabbit:
RUN AWAY QUICKLY!

Baby Rabbit (in a high-pitched keen) to Mother Rabbit: All RIGHT!

Cricket: Oh, Dear God, They killed the Mother Rabbit. Oh, Dear God.

. . . . .

Alice to Rabbit: Sorry, Rabbit.

One Coyote (cavalierly): What was THAT all about?
We didn’t kill anybody.
Don’t be so silly about all that.

Another Coyote (simultaneously, jeeringly
repeating Mother Rabbit’s last admonition:
“RUN away QUICKLY!” (3 times)

Cricket: Oh, Dear God! There’s nothing I can do about it.

. . . . .

Cricket: The Cricket will just go back to bed.
That’s what the Cricket will do.
Back to bed right now.
There’s nothing to do about it.
They will do that all the time.
Those cruel animals will do that all the time.

Alice to Readers:
So the Coyotes just gulped down a Rabbit.

Yesterday at this time it was a Cat …
a neighborhood Cat … and the day before
it was the Mother Pack Rat.

Did you hear the Rabbits?
They shriek or scream in a high-pitched voice
when they’re terrified.

I guess that was that, then.
They ate the Rabbit.

It was way over there.
You can’t hear it very well.

. . . . .

Another Rabbit: Oh, Dear God!

. . . . .

Coyote Pups: What is it?

Alice to Oreo Shoes Cat: Did you hear that … that high-pitched scream?

. . . . .

The Same Rabbit to Coyote Pups: That RABBIT was really upset!

Alice to Oreo Shoes Cat: That’s a Rabbit.
And it’s really scared.

. . . . .

Oreo Shoes Cat is listening …

Coyote Pups (animatedly): Yes, I KNOW that!
We were KILLING the Rabbit’s Mother!

Alice to Readers: That’s Oreo Shoes [Cat] there …

. . . . .

Alice to Readers: … She’s not getting eaten
because she’s a great House Cat.

. . . . .

Alice to Oreo Shoes Cat: They’re just eating it. That’s all.

INTRODUCTION

Dear Ones,

On my walk at Malibu Creek State Park the day after the Fourth of July 2026, there were great crowds of people! People coming and going! The Songbirds were uncommonly quiet, and the Deva of an Oak Tree told me my own safe passage that day depended on my putting a lid on telepathy during the walk. So that’s what I did.

There is a Summary after the video …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

“Tree Talk: Little Rabbits Have Big Ears!”
By Alice B. Clagett

Oak Tree [Deep Windy Voice]: Oh, no! She’s …

. . . . .

Alice to Readers: Hello, Dear Ones. It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.
I just talked to this Tree here …

. . . . .

… and I put my hand on the trunk and just waited,
and I felt a very strong energy …

. . . . .

Oak Tree [Deep Windy Voice]: Oh, no! She’s talking
to all those people on her walk.
Alice to Readers (continued): … in my Crown Chakra;
very solid in my head too. And as I went away, …

. . . . .

Alice to Readers (continued): … the Ravens way over here, …

. . . . .

Raven: Do not talk at all!
Alice to Readers (continued): … they told me what the Tree said.
Raven: Not!
Alice to Ravens: What did the Tree say?
Oak Tree [Deep Windy Voice]: I advised her not
to talk to anyone while she was on that property.

. . . . .

Oak Tree [Deep Windy Voice]: I advised them
all not to say anything at all today … nothing at all.

. . . . .

Alice to Ravens: What did the Tree say? Well, I’ll …
Hummingbird [shouting]: He said she should not talk.

[Come to think of it, the Songbirds were
uncommonly quiet while I walked that day.]

. . . . .

Oak Tree [Deep Windy Voice]: These unbelievable
people might off you if you say something they don’t agree with.
Alice (continued): I remember it. They said,
“The Tree said, ‘You’ll be okay if you just don’t talk.'”
Hummingbird: Ex-ACT-ly!
Alice to Readers: They said that three times.
Alice to Hummingbird: Right? Did I get it right?

. . . . .

Alice to Raven: Raven?

. . . . .

Hummingbird: Three … three … three … three … three times!
Alice to Raven: Right, Raven?

. . . . .

Raven: Stop Stop Stop Stop Stop!

. . . . .

Hummingbird: DON’T hurt!

INTRODUCTION

Dear Ones,

This documentary was recorded a few days before Valentine’s Day. There is a discussion amongst Nandays and Ravens about a recent incident in which a Deer ate a Hawk’s babies (presumably by mistake) and the Hawk got even by blinding the Deer with its sharp, hooked beak.

There is a Summary after the video …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

“Why Would Hawks Kill Deer? … and Happy Valentine’s Day”
By Alice B. Clagett

[Quick! MAX your Audio volume!
Then you can hear Ravens and Nandays speaking!]
Alice to Nanday: Nanday, Why would the Hawks want to kill the Deer?

Raven 1 to Raven 2 [repeating my question]:
Why would Hawks kill Deer?
Raven 2 to Raven 1: I don’t know.
Nanday 1 to Ravens: She asked NANDAY!

Nandays to Ravens: She asked NANDAY! She asked NANDAY!
Raven [undaunted] to Alice: Bad Hawk!
Nanday to Raven: SHUT UP, Raven!

Alice to Readers: The Ravens say, “I don’t know why the Hawks do that.”
And another one said …
Raven to Alice: That was a Bad Hawk!

Alice to Readers [continuing]: … “I don’t know why.”

[Nandays agree to tell me
it was an accident.
Raven (quite vocally) and I (silently}
disagree with this prestidigitation
(although Alice can see it might mollify Hawk).]

Alice to Nandays: Are you sure that’s what it is?
Raven to Nanday [doggedly]: That . was . a . bad . bad . Hawk.
Nanday 2 [tentatively suggesting a middle path]: It’s an accident?

Nanday to Alice: Right. It is a really BAD Hawk.
[Trying out the suggestion of Nanday 2]: It’s an AC-cident!

[Nanday explains it was an accident
that the Deer ate the Hawk’s babies up …
NOT an accident that the Hawk
blinded the erring Deer.]
Nanday 1: It is an AC-cident!
Nanday 2: Yep. An accident.

Nanday 1: Right.
Nanday 2: Right.
Nanday 1: Big old AC-cident.
Nanday 2: BIG ONE.

Alice to Nandays: Oh, the Deer ate their
babies up … so they got mad?

Nanday 1 to Nanday 2: Yeah. Ate their babies up.
Nanday 2 to Nanday 1: That’s right.
Alice to herself: It got mad.
Alice to Nandays: That … You know what? That …
that Hawk just went crazy. That’s all.

Raven to Alice: That’s a bad Hawk.
Alice to Ravens and Nandays: Just one crazy Hawk.
Don’t worry. It’ll end. Something will happen.
Nanday [hopefully]: Yeah. It will end.
Alice to Ravens and Nandays: It’ll be okay.

Nanday to Alice: Ex-ACT-ly!
Alice to Ravens and Nandays: The other Hawks … the other Hawks will find out and
they’ll do something.
Nanday to Alice: Yes, [they’ll] do something.
Alice to Ravens and Nandays: Yeah, they’ll do something.

Hawk [breathily, on the wind]: Look at ME. I’m a very BIG Hawk.
Nanday: They can!
Raven: Yes, they can.
Alice: They CAN. It’s a Big Hawk.

Nanday 1 to Nanday 2: That’s a Raven.
Hawk [or is this a Coyote? … breathily, on the wind]: No, I’m NOT a Raven.
Nanday 2 to Nanday 1: Not a Raven.
Alice to Nandays: It sounds like a Big Hawk.
Nanday 2: Sounds like a Big Hawk. NOT a Raven.
Nanday 1: Yeah. NOT A RAVEN.
Hawk [laughing, on the wind]: I am flying ….

Hawk [laughing, on the wind]: … over you.
Alice to Nandays: Not Red Tailed!
Nanday: D-mn it!
Alice to Nandays: Oh no!
Nanday: The biggest Hawk!
Alice to Nandays: Not a Red Tailed Hawk!
Nanday: Yes! The Biggest Hawk!
Hawk [laughing breathily]: I AM THE BIGGEST RED TAILED HAWK …

Hawk [laughing breathily]: .. OF ALL TIME!
Alice to Nandays and Hawk:
Oh no, a really big Hawk. Oh no!
Hawk [laughing breathily]: I am the Biggest Red Tailed Hawk …

Hawk [laughing breathily]: … of ALL the EARTH!
Alice to Ravens and Nandays: This is terrible news! They’re
so huge. Their wingspan is 5 feet.

Alice to Ravens and Nandays:
What am I supposed to do?
Their wingspan is as wide as I am tall.
Nanday: D-mn right!
Raven: Dharm, DON’T GIVE UP!

Alice to Ravens and Nandays: They’re really huge.
Nanday 1: D-mn right!
Nanday 2: D-mn right! Right!

Alice to Ravens and Nandays: We should hide. Let’s hide.
Nandays: D-mn right! … D-mmit!
Alice to Ravens and Nandays: We should
hide. Okay? Let’s hide from that Hawk.
Raven: That’s right!
Nanday 1: D-mn it!

Alice to Nanday 1:You won’t?!
Nanday 1: God d-mn it!
Alice to Nandays: Okay, you won’t hide?
Hawk [huffily, taken aback]: Oh NO! They won’t hide?
Raven [sounding mighty ornery – I think he is just playing]:
THEY WILL NOT HIDE. NOT …

Raven [sounding mighty ornery]: … HIDE!
Alice to Readers: Did you hear that?
“We will not hide, not hide.”
Alice to Nandays: Okay. I’m not hiding either.

Alice to Nandays: I’m strong and brave like you.
Nanday 1 to Alice: O-KAY!
Alice to Nandays: Yeah, we’re strong and brave.
Nanday 1: NAN-days …

Alice to Nandays: We’ll do that strong and brave thing.
Nanday 1: … ARE strong and brave!
Nanday 1: Yeah, d-mn right!
Alice to Nandays: Yep, that’s what we’ll do.

Nanday 2: Yep!
Nanday 1: Eat BA-bies!
Nanday 2: Yep!
Nanday 1: BA-bies!

Coyote: I’d say I WOULD say that.
Raven: Red Tailed Hawk would say that too.

Alice to all the beings: Thanks for talking.
Mountain Lion [huffing, calm, slow-paced, slightly amused
voice on the wind]: How COULD you …
Nanday: G-d, no!

Mountain Lion: … say that to the Mountain Lion?
Alice to all the beings [Mountain Lion is bound to take offense at this.
He loathes what he terms maudlin sentiment.
He considers I am insulting him any time I speak from my heart.
But here goes anyway]: Happy Valentine’s Day.
It’s Valentine’s Day in a couple of days.
Nanday 1 to Nanday 2: That Mountain Lion HATES her for that.
Alice to all the beings: [In] three more days it’s Valentine’s Day.
Mountain Lion to Alice: Cut that out right now. Valentine’s Day is …

Mountain Lion to Alice: … NOT what we like to hear about.
Nanday to Mountain Lion: RIGHT, RIGHT.
Strange Bird to other Birds: Just agree with him.
Strange Bird to Mountain Lion: RIGHT, RIGHT.
Strange Bird [frantically]: Just AGREE with him!
Alice to all the beings: then. Everybody’s supposed to love
everybody else and be kind to them.

Alice to all the beings: Valentine’s Day.
Nanday to Mountain Lion: Right, right!
Raven to Alice: Shut Up!

Mountain Lion [speaking in a relatively good humored,
on-top-of-it, Apex Predator way]: The Mountain Lion …
Nanday: G-d D-MMIT!
Raven [simultaneously]: SHUT UP!
Mountain Lion: … is getting AN-gry!
Alice to all beings: Yeah …

Alice to all beings: Valentine’s Day. Everybody’s supposed
to have one big heart on Valentine’s Day.
Mountain Lion: That Woman is starting to make me really angry.

Alice to all beings: Be kind. You could tell the Hawk.
Valentine’s Day. Yeah, pretty good.

Mountain Lion: THE MOUN-tain LIon …
Strange Bird [seconding the Mountain Lion]: G-d d-mmit!
STOP it! STOP it!

Alice to Strange Bird: Who is that?
Strange Bird: It’s a RAB-bit.
Alice to Strange Bird: RAB-bit?
Strange Bird: Yeah. A Rabbit.
Alice to Strange Bird: I could swear that’s not a Rabbit.
Mountain Lion: I could swear that …

Mountain Lion: … too!
Alice to all the beings: See you guys later.
Alice to all the beings: You know that
Ranger is going to … or that Man there, …

Alice to all the beings: … he’s going to try and find out
what’s going on … see what he can do.
Raven: I got that!
Alice to all the beings: … Men are good at that. They’re …

Alice to all the beings: … like …
Raven [sounding bossy, as if he were imitating the voice
of a man]: Yeah, They Are.
Alice to Raven: … they’re like Father Raven. They’re very strong …
Nanday [delighted]: RIGHT!
Alice to Raven and Nanday: … compared to people like me.

Alice to Raven and Nanday: Yeah.

Mountain Lion [grousingly]: I do feel that Father Raven
is NOT VERY STRONG.
[Ouch!]

Father Raven to Mountain Lion: I AM VERY STRONG!
Mountain Lion to Father Raven: You’re strong?
Alice to all the beings: There is that Big Guy …

NATURE NOTES

California Red-Tailed Hawks have a wingspan of 4 or 5 feet and a body length of about 2 feet. This bundle of fury can be quite daunting up close. That is what I have found out in my own hiking experience.
