Mine is a Great Blue Heron - hunts by standing quietly or walking slowly in pond, stream, or meadow, and catches a variety of prey (fish, frogs, gophers, etc) with a sudden dart of its long, pointy bill. Observant and patient. Voice is a croak; flies with slow wingbeats; nest is an untidy-looking heap of sticks. An adult is capable of fighting off most predatory birds, though I wouldn't bet on it against a bear.
If I were Finnish, it would probably be a Grey Heron, since they replace the Great Blue in Europe.
