How does a Wedge Tailed Eagle keep dry in the rain

["Philip Veerman" <>]

Yes it could be because of rain, but seems odd. I wonder about the next possible reason. Was there interactions between the 2 eagles? Could the one under the log be escaping from aggressions (or even affections) from a partner or a rival? Could there have been a fight and one forced to the ground where it then hid whilst the other perched above.

Well that is strange. I wonder if it has anything to do with the rain. It might have got there by chasing a rabbit or whatever..........
