Bald Eagle
Hi-res
American National Bird, a majestic and awesome sight.
Malicious?

Wing
Hi-res
The eagle can be a grim-looking customer, at times. Partakes of carrion, more often than not. When scared, barfs up half-digested fish.

Sharp Beak

Red Tailed Hawk
Hi-res
Red hawk Jimmy, nicknamed "P39" by its prospective food. Anything that runs or flies low around him gets to Heaven via his digestive system.

Feather detail
Hi-res
Tends to be quite nice to friends. His taste of humor, however, includes ground-level aerial tricks which have cause heart attacks before...imagine a bird diving at you at 120 km/h and pulling out only at the last moment.

Sir Winston
Hi-res
Distinguished Profile
Hi-res
Among the raptors, Winston is a bird of rare charm and class. If you are on his good side, you may even get to pet him. Naturally, excessive familiarity would be in poor taste.
Taking liberties?
Hi-res
Although Winston would refrain from dispatching offenders of his dignity to better hunting grounds, he will indicate his displeasure most keenly. Do mind your manners, folks.

Soft and Cuddly
Hi-res
Big Beautiful Eyes
Hi-res
Great Horned Owl Patricia, the truly elegant Lady of the night. Soft and cuddly and well-equipped with sharp beak and talons. The kind of night ground attack aircraft that makes free-roaming cats long for air raid shelters.

Handsome, Sun-tan Face
Hi-res
Majestic Wingspan
Hi-res
Mathisha the Vulture -- the original mascot of the recycling movement, later dropped in favor of something more abstract.

Sharp!

Midory the Osprey looks at Bernie the Seagull. Bernie has been piloting while intoxicated and now looks a trifle waterlogged.

While my friend Leonard the Pelican is entirely respectable in every way, you will no longer see him on Minneapolis lakes. The local laws have ruled that his beak can be classified as a bayonet so, by the very act of being, Leonard is guity of brandishing a weapon. Leonard is unamused.
