The Wedge-tailed Eagle is Australia's largest living bird of prey and one of the largest eagles in the world. The Wedge-tailed Eagle is found throughout mainland Australia, Tasmania and southern New Guinea, from sea level to alpine regions in the mountains. It prefers wooded and forested land and open country, generally avoiding rainforest and coastal heaths. Much more information is available at the Australian Museum Online. This particular bird is flown by a master falconer from the California Hawking Club.
