Steller's sea eagle  (Haliaeetus pelagicus)

Steller's sea eagles breed in eastern Russia, around the Sea of Okhotsk and on the Kamchatka Peninsula. A small number of birds remain in Kamchatka over the winter but the majority fly south to the Japanese Islands of Kuril and Hokkaido (2). This species is also occasionally seen in China and North and South Korea (2).

Inhabits coastal cliffs and estuaries; further inland, these birds are associated with river and lakeshore forests (5).
