Viewed from the deck
Not more than 12' from my position, this heron affects nonchalance, but is about to be harassed by the neighborhood red-winged blackbird, whose nest is about 4' off-camera to the left.
Previous view from the deck here.
Great Blue Heron
(Ardea herodias)
Description:
39-52", Wingspread 70"
A common, large, grayish heron with a yellowish bill. Flies with neck folded, whereas the Sandhill Crane flies with the neck extended. In Florida an all-white form, the “Great White Heron,†differs from the Great Egret in having greenish-yellow rather than black legs.
Voice:
Hoarse, guttural squawk.
Habitat:
Lakes, ponds, rivers, and marshes... This large heron is frequently found standing at the edge of a pond or marshy pool, watching for fish or frogs, which are its principal food...
- from The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Birds, Eastern Region (1977)

Why yes, now that you mention it
It DID get kind of noisy around here on Friday night.
Last frame is just before the power went out.
