photo osprey Eagles are very large birds, with broad wings and tail. The legs are thickly feathered.

Eagles, hawks, buzzards and vultures are symbolic of the mountainous Beyond region, usually seen soaring majestically, riding thermals without a wing-beat, and occasionally stooping to some hapless prey. These are diurnal birds of prey, with hooked bills and powerful talons adapted to hunting. Identification is difficult: they're usually seen at a distance, with no reference for size, and often silhouetted by the sky.
