Modified title to better reflect the question

Does Heroic trigger on a static effect?

War-wing Siren has the Heroic ability:

Whenever you cast a spell that targets War-Wing Siren, put a +1/+1 counter on War-Wing Siren.

Captain Of the Watch states:

"Other Soldier creatures you control get +1/+1 and have vigilance."

With Siren in play under my control, I cast Captain Of Watch. The Captain has an effect on Siren: +1/+1 and vigilance. Does this count as casting a spell that targets Siren? Should Siren get a +1/+1 counter?

I see "Target" to mean the recipient of some spell or effect.
