Kelsey, this is a great find! This looks like an immature Black-crowned Night-Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax ). Both male and female adults look the same. http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/black...

Since you know the ID of your bird, it would be great if you would add the scientific name to your spotting. Thanks!
