Eagles on stamps: A list of 42 species of eagles with Scott #s

Thematic, or topical collecting, is growing as more nations issue theme stamps, sometimes making up sets that contain scientific rarities and actually serve a purpose to someone making a study of their topic. One favourite topic worldwide is birds, of which there are tens of thousands of stamps, rannging from iconic to paintings to photographs. Eagles are perhaps the most widely depicted of all birds, of the 48 or so species of these raptors some 42 or more are known to be on stamps. A list was made recently of these, done by species and using, when known, Scott numbers.
