Tut tut Andrew - at least you could get the spelling of the name of the
extinct NZ eagle
correct.
It is spelled "Haast", in recognition of the name of the first
scientifically-minded person to
study the bird. See

"8 Reasons the Wedgie is Better than the Bald Eagle
Andrew Fildes 18 November, 2013, 05:43 PM The Wedgie may be the largest extant
eagle
but not the largest 'of all time'! That I think was Hast's Eagle of New Zealand
which was big
enough to kill an adult Moa by attacking the neck - or a Maori wearing a Moa
feather cloak.".
