Several of the grander houses along State Street still possess large granite bollards or corner posts at the edge of the lawn, relics of former wrought-iron fences of the Gilded Age.  These chunks of stone, a foot square or more in cross-section, stand about eye-level, and often serve as nut-gnawing perches for squirrels or repositories of emptied drink bottles/cups left by litter louts. 

Returning with the paper this morning, I glanced at the top of one of these obelisks and encountered a mockingbird, about three feet from my nose.

"Whadda ya staring at, buddy?"
