The Wedgies are totally fearless, aren't they?
Fortunately, I've never encountered one while airborne.

Back in my hang gliding days, I'd found that Sea Eagles, nearly as big, could get a bit close up and personal, letting you know that
you're on their territory - and please go play somewhere else.

Once, we encountered a large Pelican near Bourke, nonchalantly going about his business at a tad under 10,000ft. .. WTF?!
