Great Blue Heron

Ardea herodias

Description:

Large wading bird perched on a rock in a river bed

Habitat:

Temperature Pacific coastal ecosystem

Notes:

Spotted from a bridge over the Capilano River in West Vancouver BC; the sun angle is unfortunate, as the images are all backlit; this may be a great blue heron, though it seems smaller than the size suggested for this species in online sources
