Paul,
I think #2 is an immature Green Heron. They're fairly common around here.

A good guess, Ann, but the Bittern has brown wings and no crown of
feathers
-- as far as I can tell. And I did follow the bird that I shot in flight.
I'm sure he landed in the water. I was convinced at first that this was a
different bird, but after looking at some pics of juvenile herons on the
Audubon pages, I think this is the same bird. Could b wrong of course.

followed it downstream a couple hundred feet and saw another bird that
appeared to be a different species standing on a log (unfortunately,
against
a busy background). He had a crown of feathers standing straight up and
brown markings on his neck. After studying the Audubon guide this morning,
I've come to the conclusion that they're one and the same. Herons all have
that crown of feathers, but this is the first time I've seen them
extended.
