This is Henry the Blue Heron. He lives at Beacon Hill Park in Victoria. Supposedly he is the surviving member of a large Blue Heron nesting colony that was based in the park until a few years, ago when a single female bald eagle attacked the colony and its nests full of chicks hundreds of times and finally drove the survivors out of the park.
He is fed fish daily by a very cranky old woman who lives across the street from the park.
If you are lucky enough to be there at feeding time you can get within 10 feet of Henry before he takes off back to his perch in a tree.
