Very nice pic: subject in centre, good lighting, reflections in water...Well Done! Wish I could help you with the name but I'm not the best of ornithologists for sure!!
Nice photo Susan. I really like the reflections. I like how you didn't include the actual plants causing the reflections. It makes the reflections stand out even more, unless the Heron is standing on it's head. Good work.

Nice catch, they are not camera friendly. I would love to have seen more of the reflection, and the bird not quite so much in the center, but a good shot.
