Great Blue Heron - Ardea herodias

Blue-gray color with a black stripe above the eye, long legs, and a long bill. In flight, they curl its neck into a tight “S” shape.

This heron was fishing on the Hudson River. It caught a fish, as you can see, but didn't eat it. It just held it in its bill for at least 10 minutes. It would bend over, put it on the wood it was standing on, then pick it back up...over and over.
