Young male red-winged blackbird
The Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) is a passerine bird of the family Icteridae found in most of North and much of Central America. The Red-winged Blackbird is sexually dimorphic; the male is all black with a red shoulder and yellow wing bar, while the female is a nondescript dark brown. Seeds and insects make up the bulk of the Red-winged Blackbird's diet.
The previous, not a very good shot of the red-winged blackbird, can be seen here: http://kerly.blogspot.ca/2012/07/red-winged-blackbird.html

Detroit vol.1
My story with Detroit started after I saw wonderful photos taken of the crumbling city at Denver Post photo blog.
I was attracted of the city in an instant. Of course I have heard lots
of spooky stories about Detroit, which is very unsafe, especially when
the night is taking over. I have heard about the Ford and GM plants
closing down, people losing jobs, homes, self-esteem. But hearing people
talking about that is one thing, but really being there, even if for a
short-while is another thing.
I had an honor to visit city in April 2011. The given photos and next two volumes will show you how the streets, the emptiness and written words make the city pretty or ugly. I start with the two shots taken on a Sunday afternoon in downtown. Seems pretty empty, no people walking in the streets nor much traffic on the roads. Needless to say that underground Motor City is deserted also...This is when I realized as indeed the stories I have heard are true. Seeing is believing.
To be continued.
