I'm pretty sure this is a Great Blue Heron. The "Seek" phone ap was only able to say "We believe this is a member of Great Herons". Guess that's what I get from freeware.
Anyway, I came across this bird out at Alton Slough, in West Alton. At, or near, the Audubon Center at Riverlands. It was standing very close to shore, along the roadway. This photo was actually taken from my car window, after I had pulled to the side. He/she was patient whil I pulled over, rolled down the window, and snagged this sot through the gap between the guardrail and the pavement. But as soon as I opened the door for a better angle, it was off....
Also posted on my 365project site, where it was recognized on the Popular Page and the Trending Page.
