I saw this bird today at Matchedash Bay, Ontario and am not sure what bird it is.

I'm guessing American Bittern or Green Heron.
EDIT: Nevermind, agree with Green Heron.

It just looks really small for a green heron, juvenile possibly?

Size can be a tricky thing to judge in the field, especially with flying birds. On the other hand, herons, like most birds, don't leave the nest until they're just about fully grown.

Green Herons are good at changing their appearance.
