[Tweeters] Steller's Sea-Eagle (near Chinook)

[Jeff Gilligan via Tweeters]

I saw a first-year Steller’s Sea-Eagle yesterday about two miles west of  Chinook as it flew over the road, showing me its wedge-shaped tail.  The massive eagle threw me off for a bit as it flew towards me.  I see Bald Eagles daily at my home on Willapa Bay.   Until it got closer, I could not determine what group of birds it was in.  The wings were very large, and it flew in a leisurely way with quite deep wing beats.
