Maybe some kind of heron or crane, that’s my guess, although the neck is shorter/thicker than I have seen on them usually. Cool bird!

Our yard/trees are FILLED with blackbirds. You can only see two here, but we have dozens, if not more, every day.
Also, not a bird, but wildlife related: one of my favorite things about the wildlife around our house is the abundance of rabbits.
Since day 1, we have multiple daily visits from our family of bunnies. I have made a conscious, consistent effort to never startle them, I want them to recognize us as non-threats and be our friends. So far so good, I can get pretty close before they take off (~5-10 ft). This morning I almost got this little fella to eat some lettuce I was offering by hand, I usually throw any produce scraps behind our shed where they live. Goal by the end of spring is to hand-feed one

We’ve got more than I can keep track of! Big ones, small ones, jumpy ones, mellow ones…all kinds.

How do the dogs feel about the bunnies if they see one? 
Sometimes they chase, but I bet they’d turn and run if the rabbit wanted a fight!

Sorry to be a debbie downer, but as a former rabbit owner, lettuce (depending on the type, some is worse than others) is generally not good for buns. If you really want them to be your friend I suggest bunny crack – dried bananas. Maybe a nice herb garden for them. LOL

No, I appreciate the heads up! Any other produce that could be harmful? I throw scraps out there all the time, i’d hate to give them something potentially dangerous.

@tmac Is there a net up in your yard? It looks like a grid (net) in the photo. Especially when looking at the blue sky.
I took the photo from my office window, that’s the window screen

I just found this thread. Yes, I’m also a birdwatcher. It’s an awesome hobby. Some of my best memories are from birding trips.
