Are they a protected species in Australia?
Yes CanonShot , we dont have a good record in Australia with one third of all Australian wildlife listed as vulnerable or Endangered ... The Wedge tailed Eagle is listed Endangered in Tasmania, with the National status as Endangered ... which is a little strange as most states are now showing secure ... The Endangered Tasmanian Eagle is the largest sub species .. bigger than the main land eagle

Thank you for the information, gawler. Quite interesting. I suspect sheep ranchers need to be aware of those "big boys".
BTW, I was photographing our little bald eagles at a place called Conowingo Dam in Maryland yesterday. They are quite adept at fishing, but certainly wouldn't take on a roo.
