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.".
