I think this bird is in the Heron family. Maybe a juvenile Black crowned Night-Heron but not really sure. Its in the Klamath basin of Southern Oregon. Any ideas?

looks like the great blue heron we have on Vancouver Island.
A good Bird book from your area/ regoin of the states could help on this

Turns out its a Great Blue Heron. I have seen a lot of color variation in Great Blues over the years which sometimes makes it difficult to confirm an ID.

Yup, a Great Blue Heron. Stopped him cold with that one.
