Column: Where is the Steller’s sea eagle?

MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • February 18, 2024

We are passing through the time of the year when, in the last two years, the greater birding world was all aflutter because a Steller’s sea eagle was seen in Georgetown. Many people have been asking us this winter, and increasingly so as we pass through the anniversary of its sightings: Do we think it will come back, or where exactly it is now. We can assume the largest factor that determines where it decides to go is food availability. ~ Maine Audubon Staff Naturalist Doug Hitchcox
