Number
96 million. That’s how many Americans are bird watchers, according to a survey from the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Check out the NYT’s birdwatching tips before heading out on a local hiking trail known for bird sightings. (New York Times)

San Antonio’s most iconic landmarks

We’ve all been there: Someone’s trying to give you directions by describing 10 lefts, 20 rights, and a jumble of cardinal directions. Isn’t it easier to just point out a landmark?
We have 20 of the most recognizable San Antonio landmarks — from The Alamo to the Torch of Friendship. Not only are these local icons easy to remember, but they’ll also get you where you need to go in a jiffy.
Tacotonio Mural
Take a left at the postcard mural with the lion and you’ll discover the Blue Star art complex which is the place to see up-and-coming local artists.
Six Flags Fiesta Texas
If you can see the Scream Tower from 1604 + I-10, that means you’re in the thrill-seeking Far North Side. If heart-stopping rides aren’t your vibe, you can golf, dine, and shop in this area.
Santikos Casa Blanca
Continue along 1604 West and you’ll eventually see the gargantuan movie theater anchoring the Alamo Ranch neighborhood on the city’s Far West Side.
I know this weekend is a busy one, but if you’re going to the SA Yacht Club’s Art Market then we may run into each other. Shopping local is one of my favorite hobbies and I’m looking for new photography prints to add to my art wall collage.
