Hermitage Park, Edmonton, AB, Canada.
7D2 and 300/2.8L + 2x | 1/640 sec., f/7.1, ISO 640; handheld.
I believe this is a juvenile. While it's common to find photos of GBH with the full side-view of the face, I find it more interesting when it stares directly to the camera. The appearance of its head/face is more strange-looking.
Enjoy and have a great week!

Beaumaris Lake, Edmonton, AB, Canada.
7D2 and 300/2.8L + 2x | 1/1250 sec., f/7.1, ISO 1000; handheld.
As I was sitting beside the lake, this Heron silently flew in (and I missed the incoming flight) and stood right next to me. Unfortunately, I did not have my lens cap to remove my extenders to shoot a bit wider, but I was able to pull off a few closeups (with the 2.5 meters MFD of my lens). I should have used my cellphone to get a full body shot.
More photos to come.
Enjoy and have a great week!
