		Steller’s sea lion, or northern sea lion, is the largest member of the family of eared seals – Otariidae.
		Steller’s sea lions range from the northern islands of the Japanese archipelago north to the Bering Straits, and south along the coast to northern California.

	Steller's Jay - 09/2004
		Although Steller’s specimen was lost when the expedition was later marooned on Bering Island, his field notes describing the bird made it back to St. Petersburg where J. Gmelin used them to formally describe “Steller’s Jay“ in 1788.
		Steller’s Jay, Cyanocitta stelleri, is a conspicuous, crested jay of western coniferous and mixed-coniferous forests, breeding from Alaska, western Canada, and the United States south through western Mexico to Nicaragua.
		Steller’s Jays travel throughout the eastern sections of the Park in loose flocks in August and September, and it is interesting to watch them fly directly to their destination in single-file.

		During the months that Steller and the other survivors of Bering's crew spent on what would later be named Bering Island, Steller was able to gather considerable information on the habits of the Stelller's Sea Cow as well as an extensive set of measurements of various parts of the sea cow's anatomy.
		Steller notes that individuals or herds were often found near the mouths of freshwater streams or rivers, which suggests they could not tolerate drinking marine water.

	Introduction — Steller's Jay — Birds of North America Online
		Although Steller’s specimen was lost when the expedition was later marooned on Bering Island, his field notes describing the bird made it back to St. Petersburg; J. Gmelin used those notes to formally describe “Steller’s Crow” in 1788 (Mearns and Mearns 1992).
		Steller’s Jay shows site-centered dominance, which is thought to be intermediate between territorial and colonial social behavior: Males and females form apparently monogamous, long-term pair bonds, and the mated pair is socially dominant to all other individuals near its nest.
		Steller’s Jays are normally nonmigratory, although populations that breed at high elevations typically move to lower elevations during the winter.

	The Wonderful World of the Manatee - How did the Steller’s sea cow get its name?
		Steller's sea cow is named after the naturalist Georg Wilhelm Steller.
		Steller spent the winter of 1741 on Bering Island with other survivors of the wreck of the Russian ship, the "Saint Peter." While there, he busied himself by collecting and recording detailed observations of the plants, animals and minerals he found on the island.
		Sadly, Steller and his crew were also pretty much responsible for the extinction of the Steller’s sea cow.

		The Steller’s sea eagle is the heaviest known eagle, averaging 15 to 18 pounds (6.8 to 8 kilograms), and females can be 5 to 10 pounds (2 to 4 kilograms) larger than the males.
		Steller’s sea eagles are also known to hunt while flying and will take small mammals, fish, and seabirds by swooping down and catching them with their talons.
		In Russia, Steller’s are losing their habitat because of the development of hydroelectric power projects and logging in the forested areas where they nest.

	Introduction — Steller's Eider — Birds of North America Online
		Georg Wilhelm Steller discovered Steller’s Eider during the winter and early spring of 1740–1741 near Kamchatka, Russia, and saw the species again while stranded at the Russian end of the Aleutian chain (Mearns and Mearns 1992).
		Steller’s Eider has a range restricted to northern latitudes, where it nests near freshwater tundra ponds but shifts to shallow marine waters once breeding is complete.
		In contrast, Steller’s Eider is highly social away from the breeding grounds, where it regularly occurs in large flocks, probably as a defensive adaptation to escape large avian predators.

		Steller, while stranded on the island with the rest of the crew, spent much time observing the flora and fauna of the island, and took extensive notes about the animals he saw, including the sea cow.
		Steller spent much time observing the behavior of the sea cows and noted that they lived in large, gregarious herds, grazing on kelp.

	Steller
		Georg Wilhelm Steller was a 33-year-old naturalist assigned to Vitus Bering’s ship, St. Peter, which sailed from the Russian Kamchatkan Peninsula in early June 1742 to seek the North American mainland.
		Evidence of the St. Peter crew's appreciation for Steller's saving many of their lives is found in the fact that most of them signed over a share of the valuable pelts they collected on the voyage to him.
		Steller would live only four more years but within that time he wrote extensively about the animals and plants of Siberia and the North Pacific as well as his travels.

		Georg Wilhelm Steller was a reputable naturalist who first discovered and described many of the animals of the north Pacific, Bering Sea and Alaska.
		Steller is an important figure in his field and he isn't going to write of something that will discredit his reputation.
		Apparently, the words are very close in the 18th C Zoological Latin Steller wrote in, and the assumption was made that Steller meant "shark", and "rooster" was just the result of a spelling error or a mis-reading of Steller's penmanship in the original manuscript.

		Steller himself is quite the opposite- very steadfast in the journey, and very focused on his work- what the expedition worked hard for ten years to prepare for- to study the area and peoples and flora and fauna etc. beyond the 60th parallel NE of Russia.
		The problem is, is that often I feel the Captain's wariness is justified, while Steller would rather just go off and study plants and the indigenes, irrespective (oblivious?) of the dangers of the region and the timeframe before the onset of winter.

	Steller's seacow
		Although Bering died on the island during the winter of 1741, Georg Wilhelm Steller (a German-born naturalist), and about half of the ship's crew survived to rebuilt their ship and return home in 1742, thanks to the meat of the sea cow.
		In his writings, Steller described the giant sea cow and its habits, but was vague in his accounts of abundance and distribution.
		From Steller's description, these huge herbivores are believed to have numbered around 1500-2000 in the Bering Island and Copper Island areas of the North Pacific (circa 1741).
