In November 2020, a photograph supposedly showing a rainbow-colored harpy eagle circulated on social media: This is not a genuine photograph of a harpy eagle. This image was digitally edited to make this beautiful bird appear more colorful than it is in reality. This image was created by Arstation user Godserg_art circa 2018 as part of a series of rainbow-colored animals. The original posting was accompanied by tags such as Digital Painting, illustration, and speedpaint, as well as a note from Godserg_art indicating that the software Photoshop was used to create this image. Godserg_art also created a rainbow tiger, a rainbow bear, and a rainbow wolf, all of which are clearly artistic renderings and not genuine photographs: The harpy eagle is the largest raptor in the Americas and one of the largest in the world. Full-grown harpy eagles have a wingspan that extends nearly 7 feet across and have talons that rival bear claws. The American Bird Conservancy writes: Although these are impressively large raptors, they aren't particularly colorful. PBS writes: The harpy eagle has dark gray feathers with a white underside. A black band of plumage spans its neck and a fan of gray feathers crowns its head. Male and female plumage is identical. Here's a genuine photograph of a harpy eagle:
