Cindy Hanson spotted a mysterious heron-like bird at the captioned location.  
It was heron-sized and conformed (snake neck etc.), tan/buff with a 
completely white head.  

I know there is an intermediate morph (Wurdemann's Heron), but I did not know 
they are found in Minnesota (or that they may have a tan/buff body).  The 
bird was definitely not a sandhill crane.

Can you help?
