A Canadian national park is temporarily opening this holiday season to give visitors the gift of a rare opportunity to spot an eagle seldom seen on this side of the globe 🦅⁠ ⁠ Terra Nova National Park, Canada’s easternmost national park in Newfoundland, recently announced the presence of an “unusual visitor” — a Steller’s sea eagle.⁠ ⁠ The park describes the bald eagle as one of the world’s largest birds of prey. With an eight-foot wingspan, it is about 25% larger than a bald eagle and is typically found in Japan, the Russian Far East, and the Korean Peninsula.⁠ ⁠ Fewer than 5,000 of these sea eagles exist, and the one currently in Terra Nova National Park is the only one known to be in the Western Hemisphere.⁠ ⁠ Have you heard of this bird before?
