"A duck, a heron and an egret" sounds like a lead in to a lame Riverwalk joke. But there's no joke here, just a typical evening on the Mission Reach of the San Antonio River. This is another set of photos from my walk this past Friday, July 27.
The duck is an older juvenile. I'm not completely certain which species it is. It had just come out of the water and was settling in for the night. Then there is the yellow-crowned night heron getting a bite to eat just downstream from the U.S. 90 bridge. Finally, the snowy egret with its feathers ruffled by the wind was on the weir dam upstream from the greenway pedestrian bridge.
