Hi tweets,

What popular bird would have a wingspan of about 70 to 75 cm ?

This is obviously the wingspan ancient dragonflies could reach, and a
friend of mine would like to find a bird of similar wingspan to compare it
with. He already came up with Common Tern (popular enough?) and
Northwestern Crow (disadvantage of being an endemic NW species).

Tweeters might be the forum to ask such a question...
