Crow’s Nest is the site of a Thunderbird Legend as told by Lah-ka-nim, the son of Chet-ze-moka, to author McCurdy in 1951:

“Thunderbird, the provider of rain, abandoned the Makah tribe when it chose the favors of his rival, Seagod. With three progeny, a Thunderbird flew eastward, rounding Point Wilson, where he found a roost on a huge boulder atop the Crow’s Nest. There he could observe Kulshan (Mount Rainer). He brought needed rain to a village of the Chimakum tribe on the beach below.”
