The Fisherman is a sculpture of a great egret, created by Stephen Fairfield, 2006 constructed of 13′ high X 16′ long X 5′ wide welded steel Giant Egret

The Fisherman sculpture is located on the south end of Bayside Park behind the restrooms and east of the fishing Pier. The Bayside Park Pier 

 

This is San Diego Synergy, by Kent Kraber, 2007. This stainless steel sculpture depicts the wildlife around San Diego shoreline. Different varieties of seabirds and fish mesh with sailboats and fluid shapes of wind and water.

Walking north along the Bayview Bike Path you come across a series tall poles. Looking at older images of the area it seems to be a kinetic art installation from 2004 by artist George Peters and Melanie Walker. Atop of each pole should be a wind vane like structure but those have been removed. Unknown if the sculpture "Wind Oars" will be reassembled or removed after construction of the Gaylord Property scene in the background.
