That's a great picture. I know they're big birds, but actually seeing it on the guy's arm really puts into perspective their size. Do they have a picture of the bird dragging that guy off a cliff?

 

I've seen bigger...can't find the picture now, though. I've handled a Harris Hawk. They're a little over a pound, and start feeling pretty heavy after ten minutes. A golden eagle is about 10 lbs...I can't even imagine.

 

The guy handling the eagle in that picture looks very normal. Most of the eagle falconers I've seen in pictures, they look like extras from The Revenant. Except for Mongolian falconers (Central Asia is where eagle falconry got started). They...look Mongolian.
