Media notes
Large bill, dark underwings, pale vent, short legs, hint of dark and pale streaking on underparts, and hint of hunched back flight appearance visible in photo.
Observation details
Wading bird flying east over 600W. After noticing size and the small legs I realized it was an American Bittern. Pulled car over to entry lane, possibly for Burger King, and snapped a few photos. Overall a dark bird with white vent, large bill, hunchbacked appearance, and small legs so only the foot extended past the tail.
