Was it a Thunderbird?
I recently got in this report of a very large bird sighting. I'm not sure what kind of bird the witness saw and described but many might say it was a possible thunderbird. Thunderbirds are a cryptid large bird believed to be a predatory bird, larger and perhaps stronger than known species.
Here is the report

Describe sighting in detail:
I was heading back to my car from a hike in the mountains. It had been storming all around me the entire day. Just as my car was in sight, I heard this very distinct "caw" above my head. I looked up, and through a large opening in the tree canopy was a massive bird with a wingspan of 6-8 feet and a very large triangular tail, and pitch black in color, from head to tail. It was approximately 150-200 yards above me. It called out several times in the 30 or so seconds that I had a clear view of the bird.
As it continued past the tree line into the valley, I could continue to hear it for quite a ways. Highly disappointed I did not get pictures, as I was in awe of what I was seeing. It could be a known bird species that I am not aware of, as I do not know much about birds, but it was very large. It seemed bigger than any bird I have ever sighted in the wild.
UPDATE: The witness sent us a drawing of the shape of the bird. He had this to say about it; "This is a very rough outline of the bird I saw. Not a Wandering Albatross. Colors don't match. Not a frigate."
Here is the drawing

A thanks to Michael for submitting the report. I really wish I could identify what type of bird this was but I can't. I'm not real good on identifying birds but I'm getting better at it. From the description it does seem to have been a rather large one.
If anyone else saw this large bird, feel free to contact us.
Thanks
