Ardea herodias
Found this young gentleman walking along the weeds and pepsi cola cans in the city waters of Copenhagen, Denmark. God bless him and his thick skin, those waters looked far from warm. Dang, that's one majestic bird.
Common near the shores of open water and in wetlands over most of North and Central America as well as the West Indies and the Galápagos Islands.
