HOKKAIDO, Mar 06 (News On Japan) –
Steller’s sea eagles have arrived off the coast of Rausu, Hokkaido, close to the World Natural Heritage website of Shiretoko, looking for a winter refuge. These birds, designated as a nationwide pure treasure, sometimes breed in Russia’s Far East and might span over two meters when spreading their wings.
On Wednesday morning, because the early daylight mirrored off the drifting ice, numerous these eagles had been seen resting on the frozen floor. As they gracefully unfold their wings and took flight, passengers aboard sightseeing boats eagerly pointed their cameras to seize the spectacle.
