Saw that in Sunday's Buffalo Snooze.

Interesting to say the least. Cool old bird I bet, probably had lots of stories to tell........

Very cool…..A friend of mine shot a black bear that was scored and was found to be 27 years old. At the time we were all around 30. Amazing to think that a wild animal could be running/flying around for that long.

I've no doubt that this "old bird" would never have gotten a start in life were it not for the 1972 ban of DDT.

I had no idea eagles lived this wrong, also how many eagles get hit by cars every year? I wasn't aware that was an issue with them.
