Green Heron, Plus Waterthrush ID Request

Heard a report of a Little Blue Heron at a small pond north of Lake Appert. Did not see any at Phairs Pond so tried Blue Heron Pond. Did not see any, but heard and then saw this Green Heron, a treat.

Back at Phairs Pond, I had another Green Heron and a waterthrush, below. Have been checking Sibley on line for help, and leaning toward Northern. What do you think?

Yo Jim . . .It’s just like the three baseball umpires discussing Balls & Strikes:
#1 says, “I calls them like I see them!”
#2 says, “I calls them like they are!”
#3 says, “They aren’t anything until I call them!.
Your Call – – -Then it’s Official !
