What is it?

My son kept seeing this bird at our local pond. He kept saying there's this strange bird at the pond. He calls me one day tells me its there again so off I went. Here it is lets see what you think it is? My guess is a Great Blue Heron.......

Sorry a little blurry this is what my son saw.

Then he started to walk up went the head  hmm

So what do you think a Heron?

The ID question has been answered. Glad you got some photos...Green Herons are shy little birds! I just recently got some shots myself.
