STELLER'S SEA EAGLE Haliaeetus pelagicus ©Laura Quick This bird lives in coastal northeastern Asia and mainly preys on fish and water birds. The Kamchatka Peninsula in Far Eastern Russia is known for its relatively large population of these birds. In their breeding grounds, Steller's sea eagles subsist largely on salmon, and they both hunt and scavenge for this resource. Annual salmon runs provide an enormous bounty and Steller's sea eagle nests are typically located near coasts and rivers where these fish 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. #stellersseaeagle #seaeagle #haliaeetuspelagicus #alaska #russia #japan #china #beakthesizeofamanshand #bigeagle #©lauraquick #lazoo #losangeleszooandbotanicalgardens #losangeleszoo #bird #animal #birdsofprey #preyupto15lbs #beautiful #kleptoparasitism #raptorial #accipitriformes https://www.instagram.com/p/B7TxxzTHl3t/?igshid=ecpczvauc5qp

“No, but then again, I’m not entirely sure there’s anything really here.” She tossed another book to the ground and scanned what was left on the shelves. There weren’t many books to begin with, and none of them were genre books—more like school textbooks that Ken kept over the years. It felt as though this place was just somewhere he stayed, rather than a place where he lived.
