Ardea herodias
spotted on small lake dock in county park
This bird has been habituated to the presence of people in the park. I was there for the sunset and a family was there fishing. The heron landed only a few feet from us and stayed almost 45 minutes. Later another young family arrived and said that they see the bird often and sometimes feed him their catch.
