Wonderful photos but a couple could be better with increased exposure that you can do in post processing.
Merlin Bird ID thinks #3 is a Great Blue Heron. It's the only similar species in range. Except for the color of the bill, this is probably correct. I don't recall ever seeing a Great Blue with a bluish bill.
Thanks for your kind comments. The darker shots present what I saw. I could increase exposure, but lately I am going more for sharing what I saw.
