New state bird nominee

Brown, about 2 foot tall with long legs and a long downward curving beak. I don’t know what they are but they are fricking the apple snails up. Pond behind the house was full of them, scooped them out by the hundreds. Now, hardly any and the few they have left them birds make quick work of it. Getting some vegetation back. Same on the river, you don’t see the pink egg piles everywhere like the last few years. My heroes until they create some different type of ecological mess. Maybe we can get some grass/vegetation back somewhere
