A finch flies above the spectacle of history,
changing the colors of the stratosphere
in order to move forward.

    Beautiful but slightly sad, a lone bird looks beaten from the battle. What is the red?? Still a fantastic capture!

    Thanks Diane. These birds are a little worn from the battle to survive. Male House finches are red like this.
