[va-richmond-general] Fwd: bird ID

Could someone help identify the bird in the attached photo?  I reduced the image size of the original so hopefully it will be OK for folks with dial-up.

Just wondered if you might identify this bird I saw on the beach at Nags Head last weekend. There were 2 within a mile of each other, and they didn't/couldn't fly. Body was the size of a Canada goose with short legs, but the head looks more like a heron.
 
If you don't reply until after 5 PM today, please reply to my home email
 
Thank you very much!
