Hi Josh-
The very long, relatively thin bill eliminates the juvenile Night-Herons.
The neck, which becomes narrower towards the head, points to a bittern. The
black stripe in the malar area should eliminate a Least Bittern. I believe
your bird is an American Bittern.

I found this bird out in the middle of Spur Lake in eastern Oneida County
around noon on Sat 8/31.  Photos aren't the greatest but such as it is when
you're sinking into a bog mat.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
