Watch great blue herons in Stanley Park
Vancouver, Canada
Watch the largest urban population of great blue herons in the green heart of Vancouver.
What you can experience here
Lost Lagoon in Stanley Park is a perfect place to watch great blue herons in their natural habitat. Vancouver is home to the largest urban population of these birds in all of North America. With their grey-blue feathers and elegant necks, you can see them along the shore of the lagoon, where they lie in wait for prey or stride through the shallow water.
Many of the herons nest in the tall trees near 2099 Beach Avenue (by the tennis courts), just a few minutes from Lost Lagoon.
Lost Lagoon is easy to reach via the Stanley Park loop trail, and there are plenty of benches along the shore.
