I was just in touch with Richard Stern and he also suggests that it  
looks like a Great Egret.

Again, the location:  Bluff Road, Avonport (exit 9 off 101, around  
"the round-about) take exit past school, Bluff Rd swing abruptly  
right at church), Haliburton farm 2nd place on right, about 0.5 km or  
less, continue eastward to bottom of hill, a dark road repair patch  
IDs the culvert for the brook flowing north under the road (there is  
also a green sewer pumping station structure on the left).  The egret  
was located on the south side, strolling casually along the brook,  
occasionally pausing, leaning down and darting its long bill into the  
water ( any success at food ???).
