Three Amigos - not sure of ID

I saw these three fledglings yesterday evening. I know there was a green heron nest nearby, but these are too large. I recently saw a king rail here, but I suspect these are American Bitterns - any thoughts?

I suspect these are the heron fledglings. They are shaped like herons, and birds grow up really fast.

At this point they just look like an ordinary bird. Very nice capture.

Very nice shot! I agree that they are Green Herons. I photographed some a few weeks ago and they look like these.

Really neat shot, steve...little green herons perhaps.
