Raicho

In mythology, Raicho is a Thunder-Bird. It looks like a wren and lives in a  pine tree. It has the ability to mimic thunder.

A bird that can mimic thunder? That's a lot of soundage from a bird the size of a wren.

    1. I didn't think of an audio file. I wonder if someone has done something like that. I'll have to go poking around and see.

  4. Oh oh oh - that reminds me. I had a super cool "visitation" from Thunder Birds once, many years ago. It was creepy, but awesome. Mmm, they didn't thunder though. Obviously different mythology goin' on here. ;)
