This guy landed on my house last week- his wingspan looked like it was about six feet.

Scared the piss out of me when he swooped up, but he just wanted to sunbathe.

Can /an/ identify him?

Looks like a Great Blue Heron to me.

Great blue heron - these guys have become increasingly bolder over the last twenty years. I used to sneak up on them in our pond when I was a kid, they would make a croaking noise and fly away, but always come back.

Seconding great blue heron. You got any ponds or lakes in the area?

No big bodies of water.. one little pond on a hill that I know of.

There is actually an Audubon center nearby, maybe he was headed there...
