Birdhouse In Your Soul

This is a picture of my favorite urban phenomenon.

I noticed this a couple of years ago -- if you look, you will notice that every single lightpost has a sparrow who nests in the tubular crosspiece, whether on Graham Avenue or 6th Avenue. Sometimes more than one sparrow -- this one had a little guy poking out of the opposite hole but you couldn't really see in the picture I took. Look today -- if you look up I guarantee you will see someone loudly singing in his luxury, rent-stabilized high rise. Now THAT's loftology for you!
