Wedge-tailed Eagle
Award-winning author Claire Saxby's latest addition to the Nature Storybook series, following a female wedge-tailed eagle and her mate in a lyrical, fact-filled look at Australia’s largest raptor.
Look up. Way up, into the clear blue. Those two tiny specks are a wedge-tailed eagle and her mate.
Wedge-tailed Eagle explores the family life of these remarkable birds. The largest raptor in Australia, wedge-tailed eagles are powerful hunters, who mate for life, bringing many new clutches of chicks into the world in their lifetime. Award-winning author Claire Saxby leads us through a mating season, while Christina Booth’s illustrations capture the majesty, power and gentleness of these magnificent birds of prey.
