Saw it out of the corner of my eye and thought it was a heron, by the time I turned to look it had risen only 15-20 ft off the ground and was moving away. Unfortunately all I saw was the rear view and couldn't make out any features other than it was big and had that "fingers" look to its wings. It headed SW but didn't really gain any height and disappeared from view. Trying to figure out what it was has been bugging me all week as there are more likely candidates but I don't like this not knowing.Pah.</blockquote>
