The blimp was out the other day for the baseball hooha.
Anybody know what these two birds are ? They are definitely water types. Both had very unusual red eyes.

I think this was the male – he had the same eyes but maybe hes a different bird all together ?
Heres that facade being worked into a condo development – its just so crazy looking seeing a buildings face with no building.
The old Detroit News warehouse on the water.

I”ve never seen those kinda birds before and I’ve lived in the D for a long time.
Ah, the floating facade building. Thats between JohnR and Woodward right by the Medical Center.
Sorry dFUNK, I was refering to the facade conversion.
What a wonderful series of images, with a nice shape-progression happening, unless I am hallucinating it of course.
I agree with George & Joanie’s id…the black & white is the adult & the brown is the immature:

If you can rephrase that question in a more specific manner I might be able to answer you.

that building facade project has sat idle for a few months now. i can see it out the window of my apartment. i wonder when they’re going to finish/continue?
