"Keep monkeying around - I'll snatch your sorry [donkey]!" The largest and the most powerful raptor found in the Americas: The American Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja). WWF Maximum cards/ maxicards/ dorincards about Guyana.

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.

"What is a bird of prey?

  • Bird of prey is a loose term often applied to the eagle, kite, hawk and even sometimes the owl
  • Typically have curved beak, curved talons and good eyesight for finding prey
  • Raptor is sometimes used specifically to describe birds that seize warm-blooded animals during the day" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-12634698

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

    I don't know very much about bird names, I only see their beauty.

    Thanks Dorincard!
    I 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.

My cyberguests: thank you for taking time and mental energy to leave a comment!
Your ongoing feedback is always appreciated.
If you never return, it is my fault for boring (?) you.
If you return, it is your merit to have discovered a blog worth exploring and following. :)
