A bit quiet at Yakumo today. Plenty of eagles of course but I missed several photo opps due to poor location choices, bad timing and general incompetence with camera settings. The above pic shows an immature Steller’s Sea Eagle this afternoon. There seem to be a lot of immatures this year and some of them appear very dark meaning they are last year’s chicks. I’d say this one was a 2CY or 3CY bird but I may be wrong as I often am on such matters. This photo below is from a few days ago. An immature with an adult. I wonder if they’re related?
