Ventura Harbor - Long-Legged Bird



Last Thursday we went to Ventura Harbor and had dinner at one of the restaurants there. Then walked around the docks when we spotted a long-legged bird. Not sure if it's a heron or a egret. Does anyone know what kind of bird this is (watch above video)?

Desertnut,

I believe it's a Great Blue Heron.

We see them up here at the Alameda golf course. In fact, he is almost a pet. He has been hanging around for a few years now.
