Steppe Eagle

Very powerful bird. Can take a Swan or Goose in mid air. Its beak is so powerful it can break into a frozen carcass.

Great shot. He's looking at his meal I'd suspect.

Super shot. Very intense bird, to be sure!

Gorgeous raptor. We have a raptor rehab centre near where I live. One can visit and see a variety of birds of prey. Stunning. I once had a snowy owl land on my arm.

He's got a tether on his right ?foot (claw, leg)

What a bird! He would intimidate a lot of animals, I am sure!

Great photo, is that a young bird? I know with some birds, like the Magpies in my yard, that babies are almost as big as the adults, except for shorter tail feathers.

He is around five years old.
