User's notes

The sequence of images shows two wedge-tailed eagles that were soaring high above when they flew into an approaching rainstorm. The very turbulent air in front of the rainstorm forced the eagles to descend and land in some nearby trees. The eagle in this sighting took off as we approached the trees and circled at low level above us. The second eagle is shown in following sighting 4628738. Thanks to Barbara for the initial sighting of the eagles soaring high above us.
