Sure looks like a Blue Heron.

That's a Great Blue Heron, not a Sandhill Crane.
Note the white sides to the head contrasting with a black cap, the two-toned bill (yellow at the bottom, dark on top), and the long plumes at the base of the neck.
It's probably a juvenile as there isn't a long black plume extending from the cap.

Thanks for the bird identification. I just assumed Sandhills crane, becywe see them all the time. Will correct.

Saw a family of 2 adults and 1 juvenile crossing a road this week. Amazing first for me!

Made me think of this song (from Sarah Jarosz's "Blue Heron Suite," which was nominated for a Grammy Award last year).
