Saw this bird in Mequon,WI along the shore of a small lake. It was eating fish or bugs out of the water, but just standing in one place. I wasn't swimming or anything like that. Body is mainly blue with what looks like a purple chest. It was around the size of a small chicken, from what we could tell. The beak looked somewhat flat.

We live in northwest Indiana and there were two of these birds right outside our back door. They reminded us of a kiwi but we have no clue.
