STELLER'S SEA EAGLE Haliaeetus pelagicus ©Laura Quick This bird lives in coastal northeastern Asia, though the Kamchatka Peninsula in Far Eastern Russia, and Hokkaido in Japan are known for relatively large populations as well. Steller's sea eagles subsist largely on salmon, and they both hunt and scavenge for them. Annual salmon runs provide an enormous bounty and Steller's sea eagle nests are typically located near coasts and rivers where salmon appear en masse. These birds of prey hunt from a perch or from flight by diving and clutching prey in their talons. They also stand in shallow water or on the ice and grab passing fish when the opportunity arises. Like other eagles, Steller's also steal food from other birds which is called "kleptoparasitism." This is common behavior I saw in Iceland between Skua's and Gannets. Other posts you might like:
