This is for photrablogger’s Mundane Monday 128. I walked past Travis Park in San Antonio going from the hotel to the conference center. I went on both Saturday and Sunday evening and listened to great jazz.

And a more classic pose. Thank you, heron!
tree spot 7
Oh, there! This is a yellow crowned night heron. I also photographed a juvenile along Riverwalk, but this adult was in the busy section at 5 pm. About 30 feet up in a tree, but not otherwise hidden. There are ducks and pigeons and sparrows along Riverwalk, but it seems that the herons are thriving too. Bravo for this strip of nature that runs through the city like an oasis, winding among the streets.

For photrablogger’s Mundane Monday #127.
I left San Antonio on Sunday. I was reading and writing at the hotel, inside and out, and spotted this small resident. She was hanging out on the Riverwalk side of the hotel and was quite cooperative for photographs.
Prayers for a friend on Puerto Rico and for all the people and creatures there and in the paths of the other hurricanes and storms.

Another angle, but the trees are in the way.
watch
This watcher is lightly hidden. Watching the tourists while I am watching her.
tree spot 2
Near the top of the previous post, in the tree, near the roof line of the building behind. A bird and not a very small bird. Look, feathers, who is it?
windows and doors
This is for Thursday doors. In San Antonio, Texas, a fire escape door in the side of the building. Or it’s a window onto a fire escape. And the window in front and all the angles of this building on the Riverwalk.
gorey tribute 2
Ok, I said in gorey tribute that this bird is a yellow crowned night heron, but I was wrong, wrong, wrong. And I don’t know what it is. What is it? I am in San Antonio, Texas and have seen this bird twice on Riverwalk. It is not shy, though perhaps a bird has to get over that to live on this section of the river. It let me take four flash photos from about four feet way and never spooked. I thought it was a heron, but that is a pretty aggressive looking beak for a heron….
