    We sat looking at the eagle for a little longer then he took off. This was our final sighting of this particular Wedge-tailed Eagle. Then we headed deeper into the mountains on a pretty rough road.

    The eagle then flew across the road in front of us and I thought that was the end of it. But not at all, he landed on a tall bush beside the road, giving me a lovely close view. WOW! I love these guys.

    After some more miles along this tarmacked road, we turned off toward Angorachina It started with a long straight dirt road and almost immediately we had the company of a Wedge-tailed Eagle flying alongside us. What a thrill that was.
