🌏 Wedge-tailed Eagle (Aquila audax)

The Wedge-tailed Eagle is a large, dark-brown to black eagle with a distinctive wedge-shaped tail. It's Australia's largest bird of prey, also found in southern Papua New Guinea. Highly aerial, it soars on thermals, hunts live prey, and also scavenges. Two subspecies are recognised. 2.5 Flash (Edited) 

Fun fact: They've been known to work together in groups to hunt large prey. 

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

"Fairy, is that another Sonic character?"

Yes. Yes it is. But this one is specifically made because of my rp blog I have and I need him for a plot.

Meet Sorin, the wedge-tailed eagle. He's the adopted prince of Soleanna.

Wingmen!

High key photo looking into a very grey sky of a pair of Australian magpies harassing a Wedge-tailed eagle. Who flew into who’s territory here is the question.

Silhouette of a Wedge-tailed eagle wings spread fully with two magpies hovering over one of the eagles wings. The image has not been digitally processed and because of the ambient lighting it has presented in monochrome. It works

Moore free-2-air TV - Battle over Gembrook.

An adult pair of Wedge-tailed eagles floating overhead & being challenged for aerial dominance first by an Australian magpie then a Brown goshawk.

Eagles: zero fcuks!

Go-you-good-things.

Aerial shot of 2 Wedge-tailed eagles with a lone, brave, Australian magpie literally on the tail of an eagle. Good action shot, if I do say so myself.In the aerial capture, the Australian magpie is formation flying closely above the soaring eagle.Now it’s the turn of another raptor to get in on the battle. A Brown goshawk has been loitering for a week and here is strafing an eagle at speed. Both raptors have wings spread in a magnificent display.Is that all you’ve got… eagle simple floats into the setting sun away from all the hubbub …

Mother of Ducks Lagoon Nature Reserve at Guyra in NSW celebrated 50 years today. Here are a few photos to mark the occasion. A Wedge-tailed eagle did a flyby to help celebrate, a group of White-faced herons, and a view of part of the Lagoon. #birdsOfMastodon #birds #naturephotography #landscapephography #MotherOfDucksLagoon #Guyra #NSW #Australia #wedgetailedeagle #whitefacedheron

Sitting doing some paperwork at the end of the day and I realised I could hear a wedge-tailed eagle fledgling calling out. Quickly dashed out to the verandah to spot its mama hanging out off our back fence. The fledgling is somewhere in the valley below her out of sight - I assume it's on the ground with prey it's learning to manage.
