One of the largest birds of prey in the world showed up in an unexpected place, thrilling local wildlife enthusiasts. Steller’s sea eagles, which can have a wingspan of 8 feet, typically live in Russia’s far east, Japan, and the Korean peninsula, but one of these rare eagles showed up in Canada’s Terra Nova National Park, which is on the Newfoundland coast (eastern side) of Canada.

Terra Nova National Park shared photos of the bird on its Facebook page, stating that Steller’s sea eagles are 25% larger than bald eagles. “With less than 5,000 individuals worldwide, it is the only known of its kind in the Western Hemisphere,” the park states.
The park doesn’t make any guesses about why the bird traveled so far from its typical geographic range.
