![]() Search the web and you’ll find even more sightings of Thunderbirds as well as other flying behemoths. You can read more stories in the Pennsylvania Rambler. But that doesn’t stop these cryptozoologists. There are lots of apparent sightings of these supposed creatures, but just look at this video about the Thunderbirds in Illinois. After a report of a Thunderbird trying to carry off a 56-pound child, some self-described “expert photographer” filmed Thunderbirds in flight. ![]() The other day, a woman who apparently saw a Pileated Woodpecker disagreed with my identification because “a zoologist told me it was a Giant Red-Headed Wood Pecker”Īnd then there’s the Native American myth of the Thunderbird (no, not the Air Force acrobatic team or the car, a giant bird). Why do these guys wait years to tell me of their sightings?) (I earlier wrote a blog about the guy who six years ago saw three giant birds, one of which he said carried off a deer. Of course, he had no proof, which was also not available to support his claim of also seeing an Ivory-billed Woodpecker. Recently someone from Texas wrote (“Three years ago I seen ( sic) a giant owl.”) According to him the owl was as big as a man, had a 20-foot wingspan, and lived in a cave. When the average person gets a close-up look at an eagle or the prehistoric looking Great Blue Heron or Turkey Vulture, it can be a bit shocking.Įvery once in a while, I get an email from someone who claims to have seen some giant bird. They are big birds, the size of which you don’t typically notice because they are soaring or sitting in a tree or on the ground, so it is hard to have a frame of reference. ![]() I was a bit taken aback because I rarely see large birds that close, although I have handled hawks, owls, eagles, herons, and pelicans. For some reason the vulture decided to swoop down to take a closer look. It was a Turkey Vulture, common around my house, but unusually close to the windows because the house is surrounded by trees. The other day as I savored my morning bowl of Cheerios, I caught something out of the corner of my eye.
