Belled Buzzard

By Crusader1307

Perhaps more of a ''comical'' Legend from America around the 19th Century The ''Belled'' Buzzard was a phenomenon said to have existed by Lumberjacks (Woodsmen) of The Great Pacific Northwest. The ''creature'' is said to resemble a Buzzard (scavenger bird). In the deep woods while working, Lumbermen would ''hear'' the ''tinkling of a bell'' – often off in the distance. Soon thereafter, One would see the Bird fly over (bell attached to a leather strap around it's neck). ''Hearing'' the bell and seeing the Buzzard meant someone was going to die. Perhaps a fellow Worker or even a Family Member. Some say that the Belled Buzzard is actually a ''Harbringer Spirit'' that takes the form of the bird.
