As Old Ned stated, point of reference helps a lot. I encountered my first Tri-colored Heron here in Maryland earlier this year. Just looking at the Tri-colored Heron by itself didn't reflect the significant difference in size. Only after I looked at some of my photos did I note the big difference.

Here is a photo, at some distance, of a Great Blue Heron and a Tri-colored Heron.
