Green Heron
Circle B Bar Reserve
From Cornell:
From a distance, the Green Heron is a dark, stocky bird hunched on slender yellow legs at the water’s edge, often hidden behind a tangle of leaves. Seen up close, it is a striking bird with a velvet-green back, rich chestnut body, and a dark cap often raised into a short crest. These small herons crouch patiently to surprise fish with a snatch of their daggerlike bill. They sometimes lure in fish using small items such as twigs or insects as bait.
From your photographer:
I've seen them often slowly move forward while stalking as well - so maybe moving one foot in front of another over the span of 30 seconds - other times they've remained seemingly motionless for long periods of time. I haven't seen one using a lure yet.
See the post in the comments for a photo of this Green Heron with its neck extended.

I could not pass this Old Packard up, after shooting the MEAT WAGON we came upon this Green Beauty shining in the sun the following day at the same Hotel, the sun was hitting the rear just right, the sparkles were fun and the reflections on the shadow side of the Packard really shined with 13 HDR exposures
Thanks for Looking!

I can't choose between these two green versions, so I present them both.
