Center:

Diego is unable to fly apparently due to wing injuries so he would not 
survive in the wild.  Ordinarily a healthy Red-tailed Hawk in the wild will 
live up to ten years but in captivity Diego's life expectancy is about 
thirty years.

R8/DMR, 280mm f/4 APO, shoulder stock & monopod.  All comments welcome.
