Strange Bird At Dog Fancier Park

The other morning, I took the two hounds to Dog Fancier Park, at the east end of Flamingo Ave. We saw a fairly large bird flying in the area and it kind of looked liked a Blue Heron and someone suggested a Sandhill Crane. I've seen Sandhill Cranes in WI. and it didn't look like a crane. But it didn't quite look like a Heron either. It was black in color, with a long beak, a long neck and large wings- maybe 2-3 feet from wing tip to wing tip.. When it flew, it didn't gain a lot of alititude and flew in circles. It seemed to enjoy the sprinklers that were turned on.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  1. I thought about that but the bird here doesn't have web feet or a curved neck.
    Still stumped.
