I saw a large grey, long-legged bird with a long dun colored beak... What kind of bird is it?
Perhaps its most striking feature was a black stripe that started from its eye and went straight back perhaps three inches or so. Can you help me identify it and perhaps even link me to a picture?
I checked in wikipedia and it is not a yellow-crowned night heron. I don't think it had any sort of "crown" feathers, and it was essentially all grey except for that black stripe from the eye back (with no white around it).
