Immature White Tailed and Stellers Sea Eagles in Nemuro.
A bit odd to see these in an urban setting, as you can see they were perching on telegraph poles like crows or pigeons.
Winter 2008/9 was a very poor year for salmon in Hokkaido, perhaps they were hanging around town because of hunger or maybe this is an an annual occurrence, I have to say I don't really know..............
Thanks for clicking this link.....
Im always impressed by the size of this bird beak! Great shot'S Stu :)
ReplyDeleteNice eagles shots as usual, Stu!
ReplyDeleteDont know if you have noticed or not, here's a blog showing movements of many radio tracked Steller's Sea Eagles http://stellerseaeagle.blogspot.com/ quite an interesting stuff...
Lovely photographs and nice clear skies. I wonder what their ages were.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Stu!
ReplyDeleteYes Stu it must seem odd but great for birders with a camera and it seems odd to me as I dont see any eagles, just Buzzards lately.
ReplyDeleteAll those SBG's with their slightly different shades of grey but which are hybrids and which aren't???
