How long do Bald Eagles live? How old are A20 Golden Eagle and V98 Bald Eagle?
See answer above. Golden eagle A20 was about 2 years old when he was captured, and is now 5 years old. Bald eagle V98 was a full adult when we captured it last March, so it was at least 5 years old then. We cannot say how old an adult is once it obtains its white head and tail (adult plumage), unless it was previously banded. We recently trapped an eagle we had banded in 1976, at 25 years of age.
