Must have been the same one that hung around the fishing dock on the SW
corner of Harriet. He would just hang around, look at the people, and I
think he "begged" some fish from the folks catching fish there. Was there
pretty much every day all summer.

Years ago, when I had a sailboat on Harriet, there was a BCNH that hung
around on the sailing dock during the day. It *seemed* to enjoy watching
people. One day I was tied to the dock doing maintenance on my boat, and
the bird stood there watching me the whole time, tilting its head this way
and that. People could pass by it on the wide part of the dock, and it
was only slightly wary or anxious about being within feet of people.
When evening came, it would fly off the the stone wall on the NW side of
the lake and fish. Other BCNH would roost on the SW in the willow trees.
It was fun to have him/her around.

I watched a BCNH from about 10 feet away catch and eat a fish yesterday;
the view was from the pedestrian trail just west of where Nokomis Ave
crosses the Creek (and north of Minnehaha Pkwy). A lady walking a dog
said the heron hunts there every day. I had never seen a BCNH so close
before and it seemed completely unphased by my presence.
