Steller's Sea Eagle Exhibit

How did you feel about the size of this aviary? For a bird with such an enormous wingspan, was it a little cramped or is the enclosure an okay size?

I saw this masterpiece at Blijdorp Zoo in Rotterdam last summer and it is home to Steller's Sea Eagles:

It's comparable to some other Steller's Sea Eagle exhibits I've seen, but I've certainly seen larger as well.

Giving it some thought, the Zoo Boise aviary looks far too small for the species that it holds. I decided to glance through the ZooChat gallery and I came up with exactly 10 Steller's Sea Eagle exhibits that I've personally seen and uploaded photos of. My guess is that every single one is larger than what is in Boise.

Denver and Fort Worth are both comparable to the size of Boise's.
