Domaine St-Bernard, Jardin des oiseaux
Approximately the size of a football. Chest and front feathers are brown , tail feathers are more of a dark grey/blue, and a stripe of white feathers on the wing. Bill is a light, baby-blue colour. Was swimming at the edge of the water. Can't determine if it is a male or a female as it was by itself and no comparisons could be made. Had wispy feathers on the back of its head.
Seen hunting in wet area of forest in denser brush
