  • I was so excited!

    We learned a lot about Steller's sea eagles and white-tailed eagles, how to tell them apart and their ecology, and we were able to see a lot of eagles, from young ones to cool adult ones, through the telescope and binoculars! What moved me the most was following the Steller's sea eagles, with their beautiful black and white contrast, gracefully flying through the sky with our binoculars. It felt like time had stopped. It was cold, but it was a wonderful tour that made me want to keep watching for a long time.   (This review has been machine translated into English)
