Known as a blue heron up here in BC, and as Paul stated be carful releasing them from a trap that beak is wicked.
The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

Never heard anyone ever call a heron a shag poke. That is a common name for the least bittern or slough pump. Agreed Yours is a GBH Great Blues are very common here.

Blue Heron, saw one eat 2 hatches of baby mallards on my pond this year. To many of them, they will spear a dog in the eye with that beak.

My father's family has always called them -t stringers, replace the c with an s. Claimed because of the way they protect their nest and young. A pretty messy affair if you've ventured too near.

Thanks guys. This is in Florida. FL has a white version of the great blue. Easily confused with the many other white herons and egrets in FL.
