Green Heron

Circle B Bar Reserve

From Cornell:

From a distance, the Green Heron is a dark, stocky bird hunched on slender yellow legs at the water’s edge, often hidden behind a tangle of leaves. Seen up close, it is a striking bird with a velvet-green back, rich chestnut body, and a dark cap often raised into a short crest. These small herons crouch patiently to surprise fish with a snatch of their daggerlike bill. They sometimes lure in fish using small items such as twigs or insects as bait.

From your photographer:

I've seen them often slowly move forward while stalking as well - so maybe moving one foot in front of another over the span of 30 seconds - other times they've remained seemingly motionless for long periods of time. I haven't seen one using a lure yet.

See the post in the comments for a photo of this Green Heron with its neck extended.
