The Peoria Pterodactyl


Sandhills are bigger than the Great Blue Herons the DNR officer mentioned in the 12 year old article Strickler posted. That article was dated 9/25/13, or about the time you'd expect to see migratory birds heading south/southwest.

these are interesting accounts. How does some see the impossible. Still these big birds keep getting reported.

From my recent observations of local news, we are one of the "stopovers" for the Sand Hill Cranes. We also have some rather large pelicans here who hang out in the area, especially a park in my area. In flight, those pelicans could look a lot like a pterodactyl.

Pelicans are big birds, a white pelican collided with a B-1 bomber and caused it to crash. We lost two guys.
