Stellar eagle on ice pack.

Just in from a fantastic time in Japan. And, jet lagged to be sure.

See you where there is light, or at the computer

Fantastic bird in perfectly capture habitat.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the name is Steller's Eagle.
Or is it Steller's Sea Eagle, not 100% sure.

Spectacular. perfect exposure, comp and sharpness. As usual. When I first saw the image, I thought its taken at a smaller focal length with clouds in the BG :-) Have you thought of a little crop from the top? That will look superb as well.

This is one of the most spectacular birds in the world and you made a fantastic picture. Great light and wonderful composition.
I like the perch in this one and the visible BG. Excellent exposure.

Beside the Steller's, are there also White-tailed Eagles in this area? Would it be possible to get a shot with both species on it, maybe at a dead fish?

What can I say Chas this is just breathtaking !!! Love the composition pose, exposure, detail, head turn and eye contact. Doesn't get better than this !!!!! Would love to see these beauties.

Spectacular bird, and beautifully captured. Exposure looks perfect to me, and I love the background that gives this guy perfect context. Must have been a wonderful experience - looking forward to more images from the trip.

Magnificent bird and stunning image - as usual! Great whites and details.

However, close inspection of the tail area seems to confirm the "jet lag" diagnosis!
