Observation details

Huge bird, in the middle of the road. Extraordinarily long beak with deep downward curve at end. Large dark eye with startled appearance and eye ring, long neck. Tall bird. Beautiful cinnamon cast on back in flight. Shorebirdy sounding alarm call. Flew into tall grasses and foraged around there. Will try to post photos soon.
