Great Blue Herons are a relatively common sight in North America’s wetland areas. They have, however, been listed as a species of special concern in British Columbia due to habitat degradation. Herons usually avoid letting people get very close, even when they become acclimated to human population centres. In this case, the bird seemed to be quite settled as he patiently sat for this profile shot near day’s end on the shore of Toronto's Grenadier Pond.
