Today I noticed a large bird in a tree in my back yard and I have never seen this type of bird in my area. The bird is brown, has a beak about 3 inches long, yellow legs I estimate to be about 4 – 5 inches long, and a body that is around 12 inches long. When standing on the limb in the tree he/ she is about 1 1/2 feet tall. This bird is huge compared to all other bird life in the area. I snapped some photos using a telephoto lens since the bird was very high in the trees so here is “Big Bird”:
Does anybody know what kind of bird this is?
