Account
While bike riding with a friend on separate routes, the witness waited where a bike trail met the main road. He heard a tree break in muskeg with stunted pines, then loud whooshing like large wings flapping, which paused and resumed as his friend approached on a bike. He interpreted the sounds as a thunderbird and noted they had no speakers or electricity to explain it.
