Kind of gives the look of a young crane but it can fly fast and run fast, like it's not so young. When it flies it has a white feathers on its back. Just curious to what kind it is.

Beak is the same and about the same size and neck looks the same. Colors are slightly different but maybe that's common Last edited by Possum Hunter; 07/22/23 07:53 PM.

We have them by the millions here. I grew up eating the white ones. They make one heck of a good gravy. Grandpa and daddy never killed the black ones. They said they stink. I have eaten the black ones but they are a little more gamier. We always called them “bay crosh” which is French for crooked bill.
