The Martial eagle at the centre where I help out, is around 6 ft and she is a big bird! weighing 13lb. I think 9ft is pushing it a bit! :rolleyes:

largest bird of prey wingspan belongs to andean condor
in eagle group first is Steller's sea eagle, second whilte tailed sea eagle, true eagles group is represented in this order martial eagle, golden eagle and wedge tailed eagle, as you anglo-saxon says : my two cents !
