| Steller's Sea-eagle Niigata, Japan February 10, 2013 |
The best thing about this post is the title. Anyway, these are my only shots of a Steller's this year. The last was February 19, 2011. I guess it's nice to know the pics are just a few hours old.
Mr Honma and I had an early start as we'd tried other days but the eagle had departed before we arrived. We got there just before 7am. The eagle eventually left just before 9 and stirred up geese in the surroundings.

| Above and below: Couldn't work this out at first but I think it's an adult male Northern Goshawk ....or is it a Sparrowhawk? |

| There were mixes of Bean Goose and Greater White-fronted Goose, as well as Whooper and Tundra Swans in the surrounding fields. |
