      The very last of the thunderbirds were killed of by American Natives. Megafauna from the Pleistocene such as the Aiolornis incredibilis or Giant Condor with a wingspan of 5 meters (16 feet) which is larger than the smallest microlight aircraft. Some native legends tell of magic cast by Shamans to rain lightning on Condor nests in revenge for the deaths of loved ones, which is a telling of a much more prolonged legendary conflict between Raptor and Man played out around the globe and only ended when the Polynesian’s killed off the last in New Zealand around 1000 years ago.

        Except they are still around. These are chimeras, just as the bigfoot, chupacabra and “Nessie” among others are.

          No what we have is the occasional mutant since there is no upper limit to growth bar the ability to take flight, there is a limit to behavior and prey since the extinction of mega fauna, therefore a population of these birds would be continuously killed by ranchers as the only prey available would be cattle, over the last century there would be a lot more than the odd corpse.

          The Haast Eagle had a wingspan of 3 meters or more and was the last population of ‘thunderbird’ the closest the Americas come today is the Harpy Eagle, whose range is Mexico to Latin America and almost extinct Bald Eagle with up to a 2.4 Meter wingspan.

          A successful population today is small bodied, breeds fast and is not too picky on what it eats. Corvus do well despite being the target of every farmer, not so Eagles.

            The Albatross has the largest wingspan doesn’t it?

            • DK

              The Albatross has never nested on anything but remote sea cliffs on Islands, certainly there is no evidence of it anywhere near humans. Its prey is fish so the majority of the American continent is off limits, they range in the Southern Ocean and North Pacific, there is no population in the North Atlantic to speak of, the bird itself is one of the most visible known white body and head, dark grey wings, and if it was flying across the US or Latin America would be easily identified.

            • DK

              sic. The Albatross may today have the largest wingspan, but everyone can see it is an Albatross. :wink:

      I have aways heard that the Thunderbird gets its name from the thunderous sound made by its wings. Mysterious booming sounds heard periodically from the ocean over many centuries are attributed to the Thunderbird by the native Americans living along the west coast.
