Thunderbird

The Thunderbird was a legendary creature in the history and culture of many indigenous Indian tribes of the Great Plains, Southwest, and Pacific northwest. The wings of this supernatural bird were believed to cause thunder. You can see the resemblance between this mythical creature and large birds like the fish hawk or osprey when they spread their wings like this one is doing. This is the male from the nest box on the telephone pole and he is bringing a shad back to the female of the nest.  I was trying to tell (from a distance) whether she was simply feeding herself or whether she might be feeding babies, but couldn't be sure. If she isn't yet, it shouldn't be too long.
