We recently got in a Thunderbird report. As you may know, if you follow our website, we have taken in numerous reports of these extremely large birds. While Thunderbirds are mainly considered a myth by many, reports of these large birds have been documented for a very long time. Many of these reports are very creditable.
For those who might be unfamiliar with Thunderbirds, here is a little information.
The Thunderbird is a legendary creature in certain North American
indigenous peoples' history and culture. It is considered a supernatural
being of power and strength. It is especially important, and frequently
depicted, in the art, songs, and oral histories of many Pacific
Northwest Coast cultures, but is also found in various forms among some
peoples of the American Southwest, East Coast of the United States,
Great Lakes, and Great Plains.
Thunderbird is a term used in cryptozoology to describe large, bird-like creatures, generally identified with the Thunderbird of Native American tradition. While the fossil record does show that giant birds (teratorns)
with wingspans between 4 and 5 m (13 and 16 ft) were likely
contemporary with early man, the creature is generally regarded as a
myth or legend.
With that said, here is the report.
