I had a nice day shooting BIFs from a cold and exposed bridge in Yakumo Hokkaido Japan last Sunday.............

All shots taken with 7D plus 100-400L.

There are 2 types of eagles. Stellers Sea and White Tailed. This is the former (an adult)........

Hi Sam, it's a Stellers Sea Eagle, Siberia's bigger beefier version of the Bald Eagle.
