Took this shot this afternoon at Nature Preserve outside of city. He was along bank of pond and I was excited when I spotted him as I had never seen species before. I am not quite sure what he is...I got home and looked up in bird book, and from what I can gather is a Green-backed Heron. If anybody can confirm this I would appreciate it. It says in field guide that this bird is a small short-legged heron, compact with a dectively long neck. Found in all freshwater and many saltwater habitats..generally solitary. I hope to go back and try and get better captures of him.
