Elaborate birdhouse

Birdsong fills the entrance to the Museum of Contemporary Art in downtown Los Angeles.
A very appropriate sound as the space is dominated by a huge metallic sculpture in the shape of a bird.
My eyes followed my ears, searching for the source of the sweet, soothing chirping sounds. There were speakers, somewhere, no doubt.
Instead, I found swallows nesting about the structure, their song amplified by the art that serves as their home.
What a wonderful melding of urban art and nature.

Pelican hangout

This pelican is one of the residents of St. James Park in London, just a stone’s throw from Buckingham Palace. The image was captured about a year ago.
