Bald Eagle - the Old Man

Louisiana

I know for sure that this eagle is 14 years old. And, look at his majesty.
In captivity the bald eagle can live to 45. In the wild their life expectancy is about 25-28 years.

I'm not sure how long eagles live but he looks healthy and active. Great action capture of this beauty.

Nice image of this old fella Coleen. Perhaps not so old as some large birds can live up to 25-30 years. Not sure about the Bald Eagle though.
