Nyctanassa violacea
I know these pictures are pretty crummy, but he was so far away! There are 3 or more of these that I see on a daily basis at my grandparents house on the Guadalupe River. I think they're pretty awesome. :)
Rahrahxy - I believe this is actually a Yellow-Crowned Night Heron (Nyctanassa violacea). They are smaller than Great Blues at only about a foot and a half to two feet, but their head coloration is very distinct. Take a look at the pictures at the link below.

Thanks. I love being out here where there's so many different species to watch. :)
