Birds Stella the Sea-eagle

[Archibald]

This is a Steller's Sea-eagle, seen in Newfoundland. It is a rare visitor from Asia. It has been given a name: Stella of course. The thinking is that it is a female.

Advice: Female are generally larger than male, but If asked, "Does this tree make me look fat?' Just slowly put your camera down and silently walk away.

Great shot. I have never seen one, but I have read the book: "The Stoner Eagles" by the English writer William Horwood.

LOL. Walking away would have been a challenge, as we were in a small boat. Besides, we were biding our time hoping it would take off. It never did, not for us anyway.

Shooting wasn't easy as it was foggy.
