"The Steller’s sea-eagle may be one of the rarest raptors in the world. Very little is known about these birds of prey, due to the remote nature of their primary habitat. They breed on the Kamchatka Peninsula, the coastal area around the Sea of Okhotsk, the lower reaches of the Amur River, and on northern Sakhalin and the Shantar islands of Russia. They spend much of the warm season in this region, and some stay here year round. Many others migrate slightly southward for the winter to the southern Kuril Islands and to Hokkaido, Japan, where food is more plentiful. But that's it! This is the only region of the world where this species is found." Animal Bytes. Except this one was part of the bird show at Hogle Zoo today in Salt Lake City. He was an interesting bird to watch and he had a quirky personality.
