Stanley Park is home to one of the largest urban great blue heron (Ardea herodias fannini) colonies in North America. They have been nesting at their current location behind 2099 Beach Avenue since 2001 and have been documented nesting in various other locations in Stanley Park as far back as 1921. Today, sightings of these majestic birds in and around the park are common place.

Unfortunately, this is not the case everywhere and these birds are classified as a species at risk in BC. This subspecies of heron does not migrate. As they have difficulty finding undisturbed habitat and nesting sites, their population has declined across the province. Some colonies, including the Stanley Park heronry, have become accustomed to the presence of humans, but this is rare as human disturbance commonly causes birds to abandon their nesting areas. Raccoons, owls and bald eagles are natural predators of the eggs and young.

I'm a multi-disciplinary artist, proficient in Graphic Design, Photography, and Digital Artistry. Since my earliest memories, art has been an integral part of my life, manifesting in various forms of expression. Photography holds a special place in my heart, serving as a profound outlet for capturing moments and infusing them with my unique perspective and emotions. Recently, I've been exploring Digital Art and Digital Painting, crafting pieces that resonate with themes of Love, Hope, and Joy. Come along on this visual journey with me.
