Hi Chris,
According to pp.96 of Birds of North America, you have a nice closeup of
a Black-Crowned Night Heron. L 20", W 44".

I'm totally baffled at this one that I saw last Friday while cyling past a
riparian area:

This is a fairly large bird, about 18-24" long. The plumage varies from
a white breast to charcoal gray wings and cap. You will notice that there are two
white tassels fro the back of the head and a pale yellow thingy beneath the beak.
The feet indicate that this is neither a water fowl (not webbed) not a bird of prey
(no talons).
