Several young White-tailed Eagles had hit the propeller recently but no Steller's Sea Eagle had hit it. It said that the both species fly different manner, the context are under studying.

  1. Gorgeous shots mate. I'm sojealous that you and Stu can see so many eagles, and I hope they will survive these wind propelers!

  2. The bottom photo is both great and frightening. I've read about the woes of these eagles and wind mills in Europe. (Also love the flight pic too)
