The Steller’s sea eagle is one of the largest and most powerful eagles in the world, recognizable by its striking black and white plumage and massive yellow beak. Found in coastal regions of East Asia and Russia, these eagles are expert hunters, feeding primarily on fish and waterfowl.
In reserves, these magnificent birds find safe breeding grounds and access to abundant food sources. Steller’s sea eagles are a top predator in their ecosystems, playing a vital role in maintaining the balance of aquatic food chains. Their impressive wingspan, which can reach over 2.5 meters, makes them a breathtaking sight for visitors to reserves.
Conservation efforts focus on protecting their habitats from pollution and overfishing, which threaten their food supply. Reserves also serve as monitoring sites to track their population and migratory patterns, contributing to global efforts to preserve these incredible birds.
