In the Birdhouse

Duganstudio’s Driftwood Birdhouses

As everyone scrambles to make the most of the three measly weekends left till Labor Day, you’re reminded that summer shares are for the birds.

So invest a few bucks in a Duganstudio birdhouse.

Brooklyn woodworker Joel Dugan collects driftwood from the bayside and beachside of Fire Island for his one-of-a-kind avian homes, which range in size from charming birdie bungalow to post-modern manse. The aviaries are fit to sit on your patio, hang on your fire escape, or rest in the palm of your hand.

Just think of the good you’ll be doing for the winged set. After all, flocks of feathers need a place to linger now that global warming has given them extended vacation time up north.

If only we could use the same excuse.
