I'm not sure that I knew about Pilgrim---45 YEARS OLD!!!! 
Our oldest Bald Eagle living at the American Eagle Foundation is Pilgrim. Born in the wild in 1968, he is in his 45th year.
Pilgrim has had some close calls and sad times. He was shot in his left wing, released, and then shot again in his right wing.
He arrived at the American Eagle Foundation in 1995 with his mate, Mayflower. Although their eggs were never fertile, they fostered and raised an eaglet that was successfully released on Douglas Lake.
Following Mayflower's passing several years ago, Pilgrim now resides at Eagle Mountain Sanctuary in the lower enclosure, and does a great job as an educational eagle
