While conducting sound survey project, two team members see Bigfoot

A team of four was conducting a nighttime sound survey from a clear-cut overlooking a river valley while one member did a live radio interview from a parked vehicle near the treeline. The interviewer heard repeated charging sounds, footfalls and a grunt-growl from dense brush a few feet away while two teammates uphill watched with a night-vision device. The uphill observers reported a huge 8-foot-plus figure about 25 feet away leaning side to side to look through the trees and moving its arms. The episode lasted about 30 minutes, followed later by a distant scream, and a next-day search found disturbed soil but no footprints.

Motorists have up close sighting of a hairy creature. Description of legs is particularly interesting - birdlike?

Shortly after midnight the witness and a companion were driving toward a casino when they saw a small bipedal creature standing in the opposite lane. They passed within a few feet while it stood still facing them, noting short dark hair, a human-like face, short tucked arms, and sharply angled bird-like legs. They returned after daybreak to look for tracks but found none because the ground was hard.
