I once saw a flying creature that appeared to be a ~~pterodactyl~~ pterosaur (except for the size), ever since since i've been on the lookout for any kind of "bird" with a diamond/kite shape at the end of it's tail, as that is what i remember most distinctly.

Could it have been a heron or a crane? When they fly their legs trail out behind them and their feet make them look a bit like a clubbed tail.

I really appreciate the hint! I looked at some google-images of flying herons & cranes. I don't think it was one of those, but it was also some time ago (and old memories can get rewritten as you recall them).

When (month) and where (approximate city/state) ?

I saw a skunk the size of a dog once for only a moment. I am also looking for an absurdity. Best of luck!
