A 34-year-old eagle from Grand Manan is the oldest ever documented in Maine
The bald eagle was banded in Grand Manan in 1983, when it was just an eaglet.
A lobster fisherman found the bird on a beach in Trescott, Maine. The muddy old tag attached to it revealed the bird was a 34-year-old bald eagle.
The bird was in rough shape when wardens arrived on the scene. Latti said the bald eagle was probably involved in a territorial fight with another eagle, as the raptors are nesting now and eaglets are expected to hatch in early May.
