I found this apparent migrant yesterday on the east section of the Canon City, CO Riverwalk. Though I looked for it today, I did not refind it so expect it just stopped to forage while migrating.
It is possible that this is a female heron as it appears to meet the criteria the Birds of North America online description of a female bird: "Bent and Oberholser described females as differing from males in having chestnut streaks on crown, and having sides of head and neck streaked with chestnut, buff and dusky."
