There is a very good reason why Coast to Coast is on so very late at night........Never heard that one. I always thought the Thunderbird was a Southwestern Indian legend.

I thought thunderbirds were f-16 jets that did cool stunts :-\

I was a member of the 45th Infantry "Thunderbird" Division"
The division insignia is a golden thunderbird on a red square. The thunderbird is a symbol of the Southwestern Indians meaning sacred bearer of unlimited happiness. The Spanish colors, red and gold, indicate that the four States (Colorado, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Arizona) represented by National Guard units in the division were settled by the Spaniards. Each side of the square represents a State.

Wasn't there a kids cartoon in the 80's called the Thunderbirds...oh nope, it was the Thundercats ;D ! I loved watching them (Thundercats HOOOOO!)- and while this is totally off topic- it was a happy trip down memory lane for me!

My younger brother who is 31 loved that show! Sorry to be sharing the off-topic...
Don't you mean he loved "Josie and the Pussycats"? ;D Not the Thundercats.......
-
Nope. I'm 45 and I enjoyed Josie and the Pussycats. The Thundercats must have been in the 80's. By then I was in my 20's and not watching a whole lot of cartoons.
BTW, the topic that RSeas started was local folklore.

The San Gabriel Thunderbird (Thunderbirdus sangabrieli) has been spotted occasionally in the Fish Fork, Prairie Fork, and Lupine areas of the San Gabriel Wilderness for more than 523 years. Believed to nest in caves and rock outcroppings, the large bird (wing span of the adult female often exceeds 15 feet) is rarely seen due to its unique ability to blend in with its surroundings in a cameleon-like manner.
Although its primary diet consists of rodents and fish, it has been known to dine on young deer, bighorn sheep, and the occasional slow hiker.
Young (2 - 3 per nest) are hatched during the early spring. Parents alternate sitting on the eggs, with the non-sitting parent supplying food. Immature birds are black, and lack the ability to rapidly change color.

So is that where all the Big Horns are going! ::)

Naa! Thunderbirds don't eat that much. It's just one little one every now and then. ;D

Whatever works. ;D
