I think
this is actually a Great Blue Heron.

Check out a little blue heron here: Little Blue Heron


....
I thought it was probably a Great Blue but was hoping it wasn't. The pic is a fairly crappy shot but I don't currently own a lens for my Rebel other than the 100mm so I had to use my Kodak. I was probably 40 or 50 yards away.
Great Blue Herons are pretty common around here and I have several shots of them so I was hoping this was something else.
Thanks Graham!
