| -Thunder-birds- |
The most controversial inclusion of weather or not the Thunderbird is capable of lifting a human comes from 1977 in Lawndale, Illinois:
July/25/1977
In the small town of Lawndale, Illinois, three boys were playing in the front yard of one of their homes....when a bird, with a reported wingspan of 10ft, swooped in and plucked one of the boys right out of the yard by the shoulder. about 2 feet up and 30 yards later, after screaming for help and hitting the birds talon, the boy was dropped by the 10 year old boy was dropped by the bird.
Although this story is viewed at as a tall tale, the bird was described by witnesses as "a big bird with a wingspan of about 10 feet, all black with a white ring around its neck." Research has shown that these traits look just like that of the Andean Condor. So was this made up? Or did some unknown bird almost carry this boy away from his family?
Another possible photographic piece of evidence comes from nineteenth century Texas. Where six western dressed men are shown standing next to a barn with a bird nailed to it. So what is the thunderbird? Real...or simply a myth?
