Description
The harpy is one of the largest species of eagle. As is often the case with birds of prey, females are larger than males. The birds can grow to 36-40 inches. Females weigh between 13 to 20 lbs. Males weigh between 9 and 11 lbs. Its wings are relatively short, enabling the bird to maneuver through its thick-forested surroundings. The harpy eagle has dark gray feathers with a white underside. A black band of plumage spans its neck and a fan of gray feathers crowns its head. Male and female plumage is identical. The harpy eagle is found primarily in South America.
