Looks like a Blue Herron.

I learned to hate those birds when fishing shallow in my Striper fishing days.

I caught one once while fishing in an extremely tiny cool water stream many years ago. It grabbed my shad, took off, and I fought it on rod and reel like flying a kite for several seconds (at least 10). It just wouldn't let go.

Finally, the hook came loose and I lost it. So what did it do? Flew right back to where we were casting and resumed trying to pick off our shad.

What an a-hole that bird was. :)
Brother-in-law had a beautiful backyard koi pond years ago. It was so elaborate it was on some Atlanta pond tour for awhile. Stocked with fish in the $200 and up range.
His pride and joy. He would drink his morning coffee gazing upon it’s serene beauty.
One morning, he looks out, there’s a blue heron swallowing fish. Took a few days, but that bird cleaned out over a thousand dollars worth of stock.

That's why we have a net over ours.
