Another Eagle Family.
Another time another place and a different eagle family.The thing that i found very interesting while photographing these magnificent birds was the wide divesity of food that the eagles brought back to the chicks. It ranged from small kangaroos, pigs, birds, rabbits, lizards and the odd lamb. The male eagle dose most of the hunting while the chicks are small as the female eagle stays in the nest to give shade to the chicks, temps can reach 40 deg most days.

The wedge-tailed eagle, sometimes known as the eaglehawk, is the largest bird of prey in Australia, and is also found in southern New Guinea, part of Papua New Guinea and Indonesia. It has long, fairly broad wings, fully feathered legs, and an unmistakable wedge-shaped tail.
