⁍ Hand-grenade fire extinguisher and a flying machine among those pictured
⁍ A bicycle railway and a steam-powered man pulling carts filled with people

The story and the cool b/w illustrations at DM link above.

"They've spotted him off County Road 121, but every time they go down to catch him, of course, he's gone," James Felder said.

If you find the bird, call 904-879-2053.
