Bobby is magnificent at eleven years old!! He is a national treasure. Thanks so much for the great photos Roger_Paw. Here is some information about the lifespan of red-tails. Carlene

Wikipedia states that the record lifespan in the wild for a red-tailed hawk is 25 years and 5 months, from banding studies, and lifespans of up to 29.5 years have been recorded in captivity. In the wild, other red-tailed hawks have lived for at least 25 years, such as Pale Male in New York City, who was born in 1990, and in the spring of 2014 was still raising eyasses, so today he is 28 years old in 2018.
