Sparrow & Heron ID, Thanks

[Murray]

I took a couple of pictures today & am not 100% on the ID.

    Here's a Heron. I have seen lots of Great Blue's before but this bird never
    extended his neck so i was not quite sure.

    The Sparrow stood out quite a bit from all the other Sparrows around.
    I am guessing a Song Sparrow. Here's a couple of shots.

Hi Murray,

You've got them both right, Great Blue Heron & Song Sparrow.  2 points for you!!!

Thanks a lot Walter,

 Those sparrows are tough, but the Heron confused me just because it kept it's head tucked in & did not look that big.

 Happy Birding!!!!
