Dougal-Darwin Boreal?

Oops.

Oh, that's clever. It hunts fish like a heron does, but utilizes the claws of its feet to do so. I ponder if we'll eventually get a descendant that manages to replicate the black heron's fishing tactic of creating shade to trick small fish... perhaps a repurposing for the wings?

That's a good idea.

Maybe using one wing for shade and one for balance.

Taking advantage of the abundant aquatic prey around them
"go to" Go-to.
"waters edge" Water's edge.
"trick things in the water" Don't you mean: "prevent things in the water from noticing them"?
"lost, they" is surely meant as: "lost: they".
"Offspring[...]food" can be revised in various ways, but the closest alternative is: "ancestor: females hold young[...]and their mate brings them food."

Support should be "Endoskeleton (Jointed Wood)". This is the standard formatting, and for plents it is extremely important to specify jointed vs unjointed.
