| Steller's sea eagle (Haliaeetus pelagicus) is one of the largest raptors, with Harpy eagle and Philippine eagle. It is found in coastal northeastern Asia and mainly preys on fish and water birds. The mature Steller's sea eagle is dark brown to black over the majority of its body, with strongly contrasting white on the lesser and median upper-wing coverts, underwing coverts, thighs, under-tail coverts and tail. The eyes, the bill, and the feet of adults are all yellow in colouration. This species is classified as vulnerable by the IUCN and is classified as a National Treasure in Japan and mostly occurring in protected areas in Russia. The model I want to show you was made by the Epoch company in the 2000’s. It was part of a ”Birds of Prey” set together with an Egyptian vulture, a Northern Goshawk, a Golden eagle, a Crested Serpent Eagle and a Steller's Sea Eagle with fish as secret. This one is the ”without fish” regular one. Pic? Here we go

| Thanks to you I am the proud owner of two wonderful birds of that series! This eagle is surely one more treasure from the Epoch collection. Without comparing with real animal pictures we are tempted to think that colors are too contrasting or bright but in real it is not very different from the figure. It is also a very interesting species, atrue extant dinosaur! |

| thank you Ken, Rogério, laura and Karin. I'm glad your enjoyed this topic @ Ken yeo: They are 6 birds in this series and two of them are Steller's sea eagle, the other one has the same pose with a fish under the claws.the other species are an Egyptian vulture, a Northern Goshawk, a Golden eagle and a Crested Serpent Eagle. About my camera, I let die my old Nikon D70S and I bought maybe two years ago a Panasonic Lumix G . I hope I will save enough money to buy the Leica45mm Macro to used it for my walkarounds . Why are you asking? @Roger: Do you mean the pics are too contrasted or the model?

@Roger: Do you mean the pics are too contrasted or the model? Pics are perfect! I was only tempted to think that the painting of the figure was excessively contrasted but, your comment and some observation of pictures of real Steller sea eagles, helped me to see that it is correct actually. :) |

| Thank you Yvette and Jean-Luc @Roger: Indeed That's why I'm not a big fan of the Eikoh one, the colors are too smooth. |

| the D70S problem wasn't the sensor but the memory, it lost a lot of pics Nevertheless nowadays sensors are much more powerful Do you think they are too sharp?
