Photo of CLOSED: Can you ID

I enlarged your photo and compared it to photos online of Blue Herons and pelicans in flight and now think you are correct it is a Blue Heron. You can see the feet hanging out the back straight but even more I can see the rounded hump under his neck area as I see in online photos of a heron in flight but not on a pelican in flight.

I hope this helps.
