Aquila audax
ABR description
The following is extracted from the Annual Bird Report for the twelve months to June 2017.
Aquila audax 252 Common, breeding resident
A large conspicuous raptor regularly seen soaring over woodlands and open country, and sometimes over the suburbs.
General: The iconic “wedgie” is one of the very few raptor success stories in our region, with 429 records this year, from 124 widespread grid cells. The relatively healthy reporting rate of 3.0% is nevertheless well below the 30YA of 5.5%. Numbers ranged from 1-7 birds (7/23 Mar Warriwillah GrL23 (EmD1); average 1.5, median 1. Recorded in every week and fairly evenly throughout the year. June was the top month for wedgie observations, with records from over a third of all grid cells for which records were entered. There were 5 breeding records, from br/14 Oct Lower Molonglo GrK13 (CnM1) to br/18 May Jerrabomberra GrL15 (CnM1). Additional breeding reported by Olsen (2017), on the COG chat line and elsewhere was not reflected in the formal record.
GBS: There were fewer garden bird records this year, at 66, but the reporting rate of 2.6% compared more than favourably with the 30YA of 1.6%. Range 1-3 birds. Records came from 21 widespread sites, both urban and rural, over 42 weeks, with a slight peak in autumn 35% of records. No breeding ever recorded in the GBS.

Distribution map
Distribution - 2017
This map shows the observed distribution of the Wedge-tailed Eagle for 2017.
The red circles are the grid cells where Wedge-tailed Eagle have been reported.
The transparency of the red circles indicate how many surveys sheets were submitted for that grid cell; the darker the red the more reliable the data. Of the 315 grid cells with reports, 83 had only one sheet; an example is grid number B1.
The size of the circle represents the reporting rate. The maximum reporting rate for Wedge-tailed Eagle was 100.0% (eg grid number B1) and the minimum was 0.1% (eg grid number J14). 
Distribution - all years
This map shows the observed distribution of the Wedge-tailed Eagle for all years.
The red circles are the grid cells where Wedge-tailed Eagle have been reported.
The transparency of the red circles indicate how many surveys sheets were submitted for that grid cell; the darker the red the more reliable the data. Of the 703 grid cells with reports, 55 had only one sheet; an example is grid number B2.
The size of the circle represents the reporting rate. The maximum reporting rate for Wedge-tailed Eagle was 100.0% (eg grid number B2) and the minimum was 0.2% (eg grid number Z1).
