The largest and the most powerful raptor found in the Americas: The American Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja).
Look at the stamp from the maximum card in the lower left - do you see who has been monkeying around?
Actions have consequences. Lack of awareness got punishment.

There are a number of people from Guyana who have ended up in Schenectady, NY, not far from Albany.

Thanks Dorincard!
ReplyDeleteI am interested and supportive of your call out to share the beauty. I know you have worked the philatelic angle well though I'm not sure how that translates into a wide viewership. My photos are cropped for the parameters of the blog but the file sizes are quite large. I don't fancy them as being so extraordinary that they could be developed as an income source. There are REALLY good picture-takers out there struggling to do that. My pictures are copyrighted to me by virtue of the fact that I clicked them and have a little blurb at the bottom of the page declaring as much. However, I try to keep my blog as easy to steal from as possible. That's how I contribute! Need a screen saver? Come and get it.
