Ok I went out yesterday to check on my horses and as I was walking by I happened to look over and saw this thing in weeds, I thought this was just to wierd of a bird not to catch. So I ran and got my net and it let me walk up to him and everything I put the net over him and grabbed him behind his neck so he couldn't turn around and stabb me. I put him in an extra pen and filled up a tub of water for him, as soon as I did that he hopped on the side of it and started drinking. I got some goldfish out of my stock tank and dropped 2 into his tub and he dove his long neck down into the water and when he came up he had a fish stabbed on his hook, he did the same thing with the other fish too. I need to buy some more goldfish so he can eat, but I dont know what he is.
Here are a few pictures of him......
Look at the sharp beak.
