Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

Great pic! I think humans would end up with a terrible neck-ache if we tried to sleep like that. :)
Excellent close-up. Those claws must be dug-in while they're snoozing.
It sounds like seeing a heron in a tree is common occurrence for you. I have one seen this happen onece and the photo is posted
here.
Funny capture -- good eye.
Thanks all for your kind comments. Andy, herons here often roost in the trees. We usually see them hunting their food on the foreshore where they are more visible but they nest in large heronrys that are in the tree-tops.
