Rich MacIntosh discovered and photographed a White-tailed Eagle on Alaska’s Kodiak Island a few hours ago.

There are very few North American records of this magnificent Old World raptor, though it has bred on Attu and occurs casually elsewhere in the Aleutians.
Wow Rick, what a great find! I would love to see one of those huge Sea Eagles! That would be a big time lifer for me, literally. Guess I’ll have to put Northern Alaska on my bird trip list or go to Europe to see that big boy!
Thanks for sharing!
I agree with Larry! Waht a wonderful find. I was stationed on Point Barrow back in the late seventies and would have loved to see one.
