Ginger chimes in:  I know there are others in the previous books, but 
having just reread OoP, the first one that popped into my head was on 
p. 683 US, right before the Ravenclaw/Gryffindor match.  "Luna 
Lovegood overtook them with what appeared to be a live eagle perched 
on top of her head."
Ooh!  Another one popped in!  SS US paperback p.34 describes the 
Hogwarts seal as having "a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake 
surrounding a large letter H."

I'm sure some eagle eyes out there will come up with more.

Happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating it this week, Ginger
