[From Wikipedia]
The wedge-tailed eagle (Aquila audax), sometimes known as the eaglehawk (both misnomers, as it is not a hawk, and its tail is shaped more like a diamond), is the largest bird of prey in Australia, and is also found in southern New Guinea. It has long, fairly broad wings, fully feathered legs and an unmistakable diamond-shaped tail. Because of both its tail and its size it is one of the largest birds of prey in the world - it can be identified at a glance as a "Wedgie" even by the non-expert.
The wedge-tailed eagle is one of twelve species of large predominantly dark-coloured booted eagles in the genus Aquila found worldwide. A large brown bird of prey, it has a wingspan of up to 2.27 m (7 ft 5 in) and a length up to 1.06 m (3 ft 6 in).
