Thanks for link Mary, I will check it out, there are many heron type birds where I photograph and I too wonder if this is a young one or it's own variety.

This sure looks like a heron. It could be a that it's a young great blue heron or simply a heron. Here's a link to wikipedia's page on herons - so many varieties! All beautiful! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heron Thanks for sharing with the group Capturing the Great Blue Heron.

Thank you Karin, also one of my favorite birds.

Thanks Carol for you thoughts1
