Hi Joel, I believe this is a Little Blue Heron.
Good image that you could improve by sharpening a bit more, especially the face.

I agree with Juan.

Yes, Little Blue Heron. Did you photograph this in Quebec?? If yes that is quite a sighting!

I hope the answer is Québec! Last year we had a Little Blue Heron in Sackville, New Brunswick, and this year I heard of one on the rare bird hotline in Maine. Maybe observations of this spectacular heron are increasing to the north?

Actually, this image was made by my dad during a trip he made to florida. I needed to find the latin name so I could add it to our gallery on www.quennevillephoto.com (http://www.quennevillephoto.com) . Thank you for helping me indentify this bird.

We had one in Toronto 2 summers ago. He flew by and kept going north.
