I think a Harris would fit right in between the last two...? ;)

Wow, what a great pictutre and perspective. What is sick is after you have seen a big Golden up close and to see how pitiful the comparison is between that and a Harpy.

Does anyone know where this picture is from? It looks more like a painting to me than a photo. The feet just don't seem quite right.

Except they hunt tree primates a little smaller than us, thank God, that would be a squirrel stompin' machine . and that is an awesome comparison with the talons... WOW

Cool pics Shaun. Is there a website with more info on him and the Harpy? After just reading the thread on coping the Harris, all I can think is how do you cope the beak on a bird that size without losing a limb or your life?

A lot of rebar in their diet.
