Herons are local but also big and cool looking so I think people just like them. We're a college town and the University of Oregon's team is the Ducks so ducks probably have a bigger claim on being the local mascot.

herons are beautiful, no doubt! probably artistically more inspiring than a duck, too...
I just noticed this wasn't the first heron sculpture I've seen in your actifitivity reports, I thought maybe there's some local lore behind it.
