Don Duprey Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I am reposting this, with a better image of the bird. I saw a raptor -- not an Osprey -- take a fish from the water and bring it to shore to eat. The location is Ikuchi island in the Seto Inland Sea of Japan. I was able to photograph it only at a distance. I am wondering if it might be a White-tailed Eagle. If not, other suggestions? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixfros Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I have found White-tailed Eagles to be highly variable, after seeing about 40 over the winter. The overall size, shape, and coloration match, as well as the habitat and behavior. It seems the only real option. I am including some of my own pictures from January in Kyrgyzstan for comparison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
