Wendell: A lovely shot! The light is sweet, the HA, eye contact and detail are great. I could imagine this as a vertical (better for the magazine cover) if you chose to add some canvas at the top. I see three or four dust bunnies which would just take a few clicks to fix; and possibly a tiny sharpening halo. Those are small details; overall it's a great capture IMHO. Nicely done! And yes, I would say juvi Green Heron.
Great shot, good HA and nice eye. Maybe tight at the top and too much neg space on RHS. Agree w/ Bill regarding dust spots. Try and zooming images to 100% or more, then a hard review prior to posting - well done.
Love the perch.
I am on work monitor, is the histogram all the way to the right?

Looking really good wendell - bit more space at the bottom - toes are just clipped. Agree with the crop from the RHS.
Sweet light.
My Fav of yours so far - WELL DONE!!!!
Love the golden light, the nice big sharp eye, the HA, the pose and the feather details. Very well done indeed. A quick way to check for dust on your image is to increase contrast and look for spots.
