http://www.altonweb.com/history/piasabird/ Vicky, Piasa is part of Alton on the Mississippi, There is a large Indian rock painting of a bird there over three bottomless (they have never been able to get sounding of the bottoms anyway) sinkholes. It is known as none other than the Piasa Bird. Hope that helps you some.
