Great Blue Heron - Coronado Island Marriott Resort & Spa

There are numerous ponds and fountains on the grounds of the Coronado Island Marriott Resort and Spa.

I am identifying this as a Great Blue Heron. Any corrections will be appreciated.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_blue_heron
The great blue heron (Ardea herodias) is a large wading bird in the heron family Ardeidae, common near the shores of open water and in wetlands over most of North and Central America, as well as far northwestern South America, the Caribbean and the Galápagos Islands
Notable features of great blue herons include slaty (gray with a slight azure blue) flight feathers, red-brown thighs, and a paired red-brown and black stripe up the flanks; the neck is rusty-gray, with black and white streaking down the front; the head is paler, with a nearly white face, and a pair of black or slate plumes runs from just above the eye to the back of the head. The feathers on the lower neck are long and plume-like; it also has plumes on the lower back at the start of the breeding season. The bill is dull yellowish, becoming orange briefly at the start of the breeding season, and the lower legs are gray, also becoming orangey at the start of the breeding season. Immature birds are duller in color, with a dull blackish-gray crown, and the flank pattern is only weakly defined; they have no plumes, and the bill is dull gray-yellow.[6][15][16] Among standard measurements, the wing chord is 43–49.2 cm (16.9–19.4 in), the tail is 15.2–19.5 cm (6.0–7.7 in), the culmen is 12.3–15.2 cm (4.8–6.0 in), and the tarsus is 15.7–21 cm (6.2–8.3 in).[17][18] The heron's stride is around 22 cm (8.7 in), almost in a straight line.
I am identifying the owl as a plastic Great Horned Owl Animal Repellent Decoy. Probably from Village ACE Hardware on Orange Avenue.
