Description:

An opportunistic heron at Woodland Park Zoo.

Lives at the penguin exhibit of Woodland Park Zoo.

Is here all the time, enjoys picking over the penguin's food. Is not part of the exhibit, but still gets along quite well with the penguins.

In the afternoon. Completely unfazed by the throngs of people mere feet away.
