On my way to McDonald's for lunch, walking across the bridge on Syndicate Drive at 11am, I sneezed and then a rather large bird flew from under this bridge through under the highway bridge. It had a 5 to 7 foot wingspan, all-white feathers, and a long and sharply pointed sulfur-yellow beak.

At 1:30pm, I was walking through the forested area beside Sand Creek and, in the same place I had seen a family of turkeys the day before, I saw only part of a bird's head and neck from behind the grasses. It had no feathers on its head or neck, the skin was a light to medium shade of blue, the eye was black and about the size of a nickel or a quarter, and it was about 3.5 to 5 feet tall. It made eye-contact with me and it ran across Sand Creek very quickly.
