Answer to Last Week's Westwood Minute Weekend Puzzler: Find the Water Fowl

In response to Westwood Minute's puzzler last week, in which a photo was posted and the challenge issued of how fast readers could spot the camouflaged bird, we received reports from readers who could not find any animal, or thought they saw a blue heron or an egret.
Here's a video to help you spot the animal, by its slight movement:
Until the bird makes a movement by turning its head, it looks just like a branch of vegetation growing in a swampy area. And in case you didn't catch the movement, below is the same Westwood Minute Puzzler photo of the bird, with its location circled in red.
Did you find it? Is it a blue heron or egret? Compare the photos below, of a blue heron on the left and an egret on the right. Which do you think it is?
