RARE: Hybrid Eagle Discovered! On December 8, 2004, an astonishing event was captured by a remote camera on Vancouver Island. A juvenile eagle, significantly larger than any seen before, appeared on the footage—its enormous beak and impressive stature left biologists puzzled. They concluded that this raptor might be a rare hybrid between a Steller’s …

Stellers Sea-Eagle versus Bald Eagle
Stellers Sea-Eagle versus Eagle Greens Harbour August 1, 2025. Steller’s Sea Eagle In Canada A great shot and rather astonishing given the uniqueness of the Steller’s in North America for the last several years. Things being what they are now there were immediate calls of it being faked. I doubt that with the nunber of …

The Forests of Kunashir Island
The forests of Kunashir Island Steve and I share a fascination for the wilds of northeast Asia. An added bonus for me is that the region is the eco analog to here which is the boreal deciduous transition on the northwest corner of a temperature ocean. So similar and, yet, so different. This picture brought that out. …

Happy New Year! (With Eagles)
Blogging will resume at a better level in 2009; in particular, a lot of books to review stacked up to the right of the box, and two holiday meals (Christmas’s bigos, a Polish stew with game and sauerkraut, and today’s cassoulet– still in assembly) to document. To amuse meanwhile: Andrey Kovalenko in Kazakhstan linked me …
