Goosebumps... for real.

The only thing I can see wrong with it is that it should have a CRUSHED rocket in it's mouth!!!

Wow. Absolutely beautiful!

Keep an eye on BGSUFalcons.com for a bird tracker (maybe as early as tonight)! The picture I posted is from California where they're packing it up for its trip across the country. Scheduled to arrive here next week and be installed on the 16th... can't wait to see it atop its perch outside the Stroh!

It does look like it just threw up a blue jacket, but nowhere near midnight blue. Pretty nice- pales in comparison to the one that frequents my back yard but cool nevertheless.

All I can add is that Napoleon Dynamite would be impressed with those talons!

Follow the Falcon as it flies across the country....

How tall is the bird?

That is SOOOOOOOOOO FREAKIN COOL!!!

Sweet bird, those talons look like their about to tear into a red hawk, cardinal, bobcat, or perhaps snag a rocket!

According to the artist it's 23'... I'm guessing that's wing-tip to wing-tip.

That is beautiful! Can't wait to see it in person ...

Grant gave you the wingspan, and the bird will be perched atop about a 10-12 foot pedestal so it should easily reach 16-17 feet high when installed.

That is awesome! The pictures with it strapped on the flatbed give an idea how big it is. Incredible!

I thought BIG BIRD was yellow? Am I missing something here?
