I'm in Atlantic Canada and apparently this shouldn't be here today! Merlin would not ID it but Google image search suggests Sandhill Crane.

Google is correct. One of my top two favorite birds, along with your namesake.

I live very near a salt marsh and have regular great blue heron visitors. When I saw this I didn't have my glasses on and my first thought was "that's weird for a heron to be up here in the grass". Then I got a half decent photo with my phone and noticed the red around the eyes and knew it was something else. Then it came back this morning and was nice enough to wait around while I went for my real camera.
