There are a ****e load of bird images on google!!! Don't think we'll have any troubles with that!
The issue is getting a sense of their difference in scales through the net pics. It was through the books actually I remember learning the facts.
Like, red-tailed hawks being common throughout the North American continent. The peregrine was the smallest bird of prey in their range, but by far the fastest in a dive. Ironically matched by the great big golden eagles, who are also one of the fastest in a dive, inspite being one of the biggest. A golden eagle is bigger than a bald eagle.
That owl feathers don't make a sound. That ospreys and bald eagles are capable of diving and snatching prey and flying off without getting bogged on water. But check out the northern harrier pic, didn't know they could do it too!!

I reckon this red-tailed hawk sculpture is pretty kewl.
And, though this isn't a red-tail, how kewl would this hawk pose in a layout be?!
