I identified them as Yellow crowned night herons..in an unusual spot as migrating birds.( These birds like salt marshes where I usually see them)

Hi, I got your email from am online birding forum and hope you don't mind my bothering you. I was hoping that as a birder you may know what the birds in the attached photos are. I glanced out my window and saw these three birds I have never seen before and they've been there a few hours barely moving at all. These birds are a little north of Prospect Park in a backyard on Prospect Place. At first glance I thought I was seeing hawks based on the size but I never see three hawks together and the beaks and body profile are not hawklike. I know the photo quality is not good but if you have any ideas of what these are I would the curious to know.
