This thread reminds me of a couple of instances.
At Wingan Inlet in 1983 while watching Greater Gliders we heard a scramble
in the tree behind us.  Redirecting the spotlight, expecting to find another
glider, we found a Powerful Owl munching on an adult Tawny Frogmouth.
The second sighting was in 1979 at West or East Baines River up north where
I watched a Wedge-tailed Eagle stoop a flying Brolga.  They both cartwheeled
to the ground with much trumpeting and squawking.  I am assuming the eagle
then proceeded to eat the Brolga.
