    Good job and nice looking dinner. If the heron was smaller than what you normally see and close to but not quite the colors you normally see it may have been a green heron. They're close but not quite the same, used to see em all the time.

    Not a green heron or Louisiana heron. He was white and grey. You can barely pick him out in the pics but he is behind the cypress knees.
