Wow, she is an oldie but goodie Bobbie, almost 28 yrs. You have your Osprey, we have our Redtail. What a great story and may she live her remaining years out there in the wild blue yonder. Thanks for the great story.

I was just reading about this bird at Birdchick.  She's apparently not the oldest recorded wild redtail.
