Whatsthis? (4reveal) Great Blue Heron

I have always thought that the "hairy"feathers on the back of a Great Blue Heron were sort of interesting. This photo was taken at Wildwood Park in Marshfield, WI. He was fishing at the edge of the pond and did not want to move so Mary took his picture. If you look close you can see long black hair feathers on the back of his head as well.
