Still Searching
I saw my brother when he was leaving for work this morning and got him to walk to the pond and look at the bird. We compared notes, and, it is spotted (almost like a Long billed Sandpiper - but doesn't look like one otherwise), generally lighter colored, long bill, etc.. After watching it he agrees with Camron. It looks like every Pteradactyl he has ever seen. We were careful to not scare it off and watched it for quite a while so if there is a photo of a similar one available I'll recognize it. Although the bird is probably in good shape perched all alone on the edge of this big fish bowl with very few things to bother it, there is something sad about the whole picture (but that could actually be caused by the screaming, frightened fish as they are being swallowed whole).
