Wedge-tailed eagles are big, lanky, long-tailed Australian relatives of the golden eagle of the northern hemisphere. They are powerful predators but are not adverse to feeding on carrion, like the road-killed kangaroo this bird was defending against several other wedge-tails (it finally chased them off and was able to eat, as shown below). I took the photographs out of the window of a car on the Barkley Highway in the Northern Territory. |
