Curious, he stopped and stared at the strange avian standing before him nearly 50 yards away. It was at this point John began to realize that at nearly 150ft away, a normal bird should not appear this big, in fact, he should barely be able to see more than the head and neck.

Just listen to this fact; Wisconsin has a total land area of 34.7 million acres, and 16 million of those total acres are covered in forest (mostly the northern half of the state).

*Note: While I don’t consider these creatures to be true flesh and blood cryptids, I do feel they are worthy enough of being shared on this site. I feel these are more or less the result of a curse rather than nature at work.
