The Wedge-tailed Eagle or Eaglehawk (Aquila audax) is the largest raptor in Australia and is the most common of all the world's large eagles. It has long, fairly broad wings, fully feathered legs, and an unmistakable wedge-shaped tail. Because of both its tail and its size—it is one of the largest birds in the world—it can be identified at a glance as a "Wedgie" even by the non-expert.

It looks very pleased with itself - reminds me of a politician :)
Super shot and the framing is just right.

I've seen that hairdo somewhere. An interesting bird and a unique pose. Excellent post, Randy.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

He looks like a chief of old. The way the background feature seems to curve over his "do" make it look like a headdress of a sort..great shot!!!!
