Two cyclists and an imposter on an old Dutch to Broadway and 5th just before sunset to watch birds.
Thousands of tiny black birds.
Vaux Swifts. They're little. They're migratory. They're in love with a chimney. On their way to Guatemala, they stop by this abandoned building (and have been for a number of years) to roost, and inadvertently swoon the residents of Los Angeles.
I'm pretty sure there are people writing maudlin verses of poetry right now about these birds and this chimney.
But I get it.
I, myself, could not help but put an emotionally moving orchestral piece on this video.
