Took a walk at the construction site nearby, still quiet, as today is Lantern festival and the workers have not yet returned from their hometowns where they went to celebrate Spring Festival, the Chinese New Year.
Destruction of the old houses is complete and only rubble remains and here and there an old toy, a broken pot, pieces of green glass, old tiles and red bricks.
Everything is in place for construction to begin behind brand new white walls as soon as man power is back. Do not know yet what will rise up from the rubble.
The people who lived here have moved to new apartments somewhere else. I know some of them moved happily and some found it very hard to depart their hundred-year- old homes beside the river.
It has been said that the official bird of Austin is the Crane. A play on words but the skyline is filled with construction cranes.
most private constructions, unless absolutely necessary, were placed under a state of suspension until further notice due to the lockdown
Grey herons constructing their nest. Male delivers branches and female weaves them into the nest.
The grey heron (Ardea cinerea) is the largest heron in Europe. It has a long neck, a strong, dagger-like bill and long yellow legs. In flight, the neck is folded back, and the wings are bowed. In adults, the forehead, sides of the head and the centre of the crown are white, whereas in juveniles these are greyish. The sexes are similar in appearance.
Grey heron (Ardea cinerea)
The grey heron feeds mainly on fish, which it hunts by patiently standing completely still at the side of the water, and striking rapidly when a fish comes into range. The prey is caught in the bill or speared; amphibians, small mammals, birds and invertebrates may also be taken. Feeding areas are often vigorously defended against intruders. It breeds either solitarily or in colonies, called heronries, in woodland close to water. The heronries are usually traditional sites used by successive generations. The flat nest of sticks is built in the crown of the tree early in the year, and four or five eggs are laid towards the end of March, though often earlier in mild winters. Both parents share the duties of incubation, which takes 25 to 26 days. The young, which are covered in down in their first days of life and are fed on regurgitated fish, fledge after 20 to 30 days.

As I was leaving work yesterday the construction crane at the site of our new medical education building really struck me as it loomed over the parking lots. Had to shoot a picture.
