Test of Strength The White-tailed Eagle was endangered in Finland in the 1970's. Intense winter feeding and protective measures saved the population. Now almost 200 pairs nest in Finland, exceeding the Golden Eagle in number. In 2007, there were more white-tailed eagles nesting than golden eagles also in Kuusamo, and six pairs got younglings. In late winter, as food becomes scarce, also the White-tailed Eagles seek food, for example fish left on the ice by ice-fishers. With a large number of birds and a limited amount of food, there are bound to be a battle over the servings. Canon EOS V, 4/600 mm, Fuji Provia 400, hide, tripod |
