Wedge-tailed Eagle .... Bunjil (Aquila audax)

A lovely piece of artwork, CJ.

Thank you so much for calling it 'artwork' Kits ! :cat:
Lol - it's only just occurred to me that there's a section for that :-O
Maybe one day .....





Chosun :gh:

That's a fabulous job you've done with this sketch Chosun.

I have grand views of them up in the Flinders Rangers - thanks so much for the memories.

I'll move your picture to the Artwork Category in a minute.

Thank you Delia :t: They are quite something to see in person - I'm glad you got to experience that !

I've seen a couple of big 2.5m+ females at real close range that made me think twice - they are huge ! One levitated only 20ft above me on the top of a mountain - and I thought for a moment I was on the menu ! :eek!:

Another big girl I had a close call with in my car - no more than 6 feet in it - she was feeding on a dead roo in the middle of the road when I topped a crest at high speed ..... I jammed on the anchors and she took off straight at me - both wingtips were over either side of the car and she spanned the windscreen with her length as she just cleared the top of the car. I am SOOOOOO glad I missed her completely. So so glad !! Bunjil

A great pencil sketch of this Eagle Chosun!

Oh to be so talented.

Thank you KC - that is way too kind ! :-O
I've seen the work of the real artists here like Spizaetos and I'm just absolutely in awe ...... ! :eek!:
I would love to be able to draw this stuff straight out of my head, or just from a fleeting glance out in the field - but this was just copied from a photograph.

A superb drawing of this diving eagle, Chosun.

Thank you Joelle
