Big Bird
There is no confusing this Big Bird with the big yellow one on Sesame Street! January 1, 1976 a five-foot tall, bald black bird, large red eyes, with a six-inch long beak in the center of it's gorilla-like face was seen in the Rio Grande Valley standing with it's wings folded around it's large body. This creature will make a loud shrill "eeEeEeEeEEEEE" sound and its wings sound almost bat like.
