Rausu, Hokkaido, Japan. A Steller's sea eagle surfs the sky along the ridges of the Shiretoko Mountains that border Rausu and its bustling harbor.  Steller's sea eagles are threatened, even though they are legally protected in Russia and in Japan, where they are officially designated a National Treasure. They have no natural predators, but human activity remains a serious threat.
