The White-bellied Sea Eagles (haliaeetus leucogaster) presented by EagleCAM at Birdlife Australia Discovery Centre, Olympic Park, Sydney, Australia

"Going Home For The First Time": This artisitic look back at our dear S2 is a thank you to all at EagleCAM (Judy, Geoff, Jono, Shirley, et. all!), the "Blue Crew" MOD SQUAD, and all of the wonderful chatters/friends I have met and made this year. I want to begin the year with a wish for a happy and healthy 2012 for all of us and our Sea Eagle family in that special gum tree! Special thanks to Shirley for help and guidance :) Fly free and find your home little S2...

From EagleCAM:
"The White-bellied Sea-Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) is the second largest bird of prey in Australia with a wing span of 1.8-2.2 metres (6-7 feet). It measures 75-85cm (30-33 inches) in length and can weigh up to 4.2kg (9 pounds), the female being larger and heavier than the male. Sea-eagles are found around the coast and along the major rivers of mainland Australia and Tasmania, New Guinea, South East Asia and as far west as the coast of India."
