World Bird Wednesday

Deep in thought?  Wedge-tailed Eagle (Aquila audax), at a wonderful bird sanctuary in Ballarat, Victoria (Australia).  It gave me a photograph opportunity I never could achieve otherwise. 


Go here to see more wonderful birds, and participate if you wish.

  1. Thanks, Carole (with an e). You could have wished a wish so you might win a prize.

    Hehehe, in Filipino, we call this bird AGUILA, very similar to its "scientific" name, if you may call it.

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
