I'm pretty sure, though, that my totem animal is a heron. I think the blue heron. This is because my I keep encountering them at decisive moments.On a canoe trip with my friend Zac we ran out of daylight and a heron kept appearing before us in the dark giving us some scale and direction for the river. Later when I was trying to find a new place to live I went to a likely place and there was a heron in the pond in the backyard so I knew that was the place.
