Yesterday Mark and I took a stroll along the Riverwalk. People say that the Riverwalk is a major tourist attraction, but we disagree. We think its a convenient place for tourists because part of it is downtown amid the hotels and restaurants and the mall. So its something nice for out-of-towners, but its not something that people travel here for specifically, like Sea World or the Alamo.
We started at the mall and went north for a couple of miles and then circled around and went south, ending up in the King William district, before we headed back to our starting point. We saw several birds that we could not identify. One was crane-like, with a long body and legs, but black with a shorter bill. The other was red, with a face like a cardinal, but with black wings. Unfortunately, neither one of us remembered to bring a camera.
Other spotted "wildlife" included a cat, two dogs, multiple pigeons, sparrows and grackles, and, my favorite, a river snake. Which was actually swimming.
