    Help me identify this bird please!!!

    Attachment: birdy.jpg
    Hi, I saw two birds in my backyard and I have no idea what they are. I live in TX, but the birds look like they belong near water. I think they were attracted to my pool. They are fairly big, have long necks, dark gray feathers with like gray spots, dagger like beak, yellow feet, orange eyes, and have feathers sticking out of their heads. Any idea what they could be??
