I attended a "Masters of the Sky" birding event a couple of weeks ago in southern Minnesota. A bird sanctuary from Missouri brought up a number of interesting birds with them. It was indoors and lighting wasn't ideal....but I was thrilled to see these wonderful birds.

We saw : Red-Wing Hawk, Rough-legged Hawk, Peregrine Falcon, Harris Hawk, Barred Owl, Tawny Owl, Eurasian Eagle Owl, Barn Owl, Wedge-Tailed Eagle and a Harpy Eagle, as well as a Green Wing McCaw.

Here's a few I took of the Wedge Wing Eagle from Australia. they have a wing-span of over 9 feet.

Thank you Joe.
I am very happy I attended this. Don't get many chances to see such a variety of Raptors.
