Detroit is the worst place to own an electric car | Metro Detroit News | Detroit | Detroit Metro Times

Detroit is, of course, the Motor City — but apparently that only refers to old-fashioned internal combustion cars, and not those newfangled electric ones.

According to a new study of the best U.S. cities to own an electric car, Detroit ranked dead last. The study was conducted by roofing company Gnome Roof, which helps connect consumers with solar power panel installation providers to help charge their electric cars.

Saw my second Olive-sided Flycatcher of the year this morning!

Not a common bird in our southeast Michigan area, and rare for us at this time of year.

Seen from a distance, across the river.

Gray stocky bird with slightly crested head and white vest perched upright on a dead tree branch, looking to the right. Blue sky in the background. The bird would fly out quickly, grab an insect in flight, and return back to the same perch.

Color photograph looking across a street at night at a small diner. The building has a triangular roof at a jaunty angle like a jet pointing up and over your right shoulder, extremely bright white LEDs around the big display windows through which you can see people standing and sitting at booths in the brightly lit restaurant. A self-lit sign of orange script-like letters reads "Hamido restaurant" centered over the street level. Darkness all around

"Eligible projects include improving flood control, implementing changes in zoning and land-use planning needed to adapt to a changing climate, and enforcing adoption of resilient building codes.

The funding can also be put toward hazard mitigation assistance grant cost-share."

After flooding that made the national news, I wonder if our community will receive any of the funding.

Two white swans with slightly rust-colored necks and distinctive black bills swim slowly in the calm southeast Michigan marsh. The Trumpeter Swan pair has been at the marsh since early March. It wasn't clear they would stay, since territorial Mute Swans were at the marsh all winter. Not sure what happened, but the Mute Swans moved on.

It's not the best photo, since it was in the shadows.

But I really like how the sunlight shines on the Rose-breasted Grosbeak I saw this morning.

#birds #birding #Michigan #RoseBreastedGrosbeak

Stocky brown, black and white songbird with large bill, white eyeline, and white speckled black wings perched on tree branch in the shadows. Sunlight highlights the birds face and bill, while the bird's body is in shadow. Muted green leaves in the background.

It took 3 1/2 months after they made the change for the new park name & signage to be installed at our local park.

And our local government has nothing on their website about the name change. Or the story behind the change.

I only learned about the change when I saw the new park sign 2 days ago.

And found an online story from the alternative local good news website.

Sigh.

Glad the park didn't become another soccer field.

Off the North Country Trail in the Lake Superior State Forest #woodlandwednesday #woodlands #nature #michigan #rivers

Partly cloudy skies over a coniferous forest that's broken only by a shallow, winding river. The faraway ferns on the banks are still mostly green, while the river is obstructed by a small log jam.  The water is clear enough to see through its 3-foot depth, which reflects some of the landscape and sky on its surface. It was about 85°F (30°C) in the afternoon--mostly dry with a shy breeze
