Crash landing of some kind of egret, heron, ibis?

While trying to watch the recent rocket launch the other night there were about 40 birds like this one in a pond off of Morven Parkway. There was a huge disturbance in the flock and it sounded like something was being pulled under while the rest of the flock noisily took off for safer waters.

Maybe this one of these refugees from the active alligators in the ponds that somehow got away before its wounds forced it down??
