The White-tailed Eagle is a native bird of prey from Eurasia. In northern Europe it is called the Sea Eagle. This eagle can be seen from Iceland through to the eastern coast and the Pacific Ocean in Russia. It is seen regularly on the US islands in the North Bering Sea and sometimes on the western shores of Alaska.

ABA - American Birding Association This site represents an organization that maintains official records of all birds species that have been proven to have been seen inside the perimeters of the North American Continent and the surrounding bodies of water. Regular revised versions are posted to keep the bird list current at all times. This is the list used by all serious birders over their lifetime. You may be aware of the movie called the "Big Year". It was with this list that all the competing birders used in an attempt to set a new record as to how many bird species that could be seen by an individual birder in one calendar year.
