Debra,

I would try a controlled gaussian blur on the background holding on to the crisp foreground including grass at its feet. slightly darken the water and background grass, giving more contrast.

Robert, Thank you for the wonderful feedback! I will definitely give it a try.  
It is a constant struggle I have with these types of images (the birds at the wetlands).

Thank you! Yeah, I like this one better as well.
I just like to try a couple new things in photoshop, sometimes it helps the image, sometimes it hurts the image. I'm just trying to figure out a solution to help the heron stand out more- I don't like all the green. I feel like everytime I go to the wetlands and get these kinds of shots the birds get so lost in their surroundings (the marshes, the greenery). Whats your thought on this?
