Can you tell the age of a hawk by the size of its wings?

No, it is not possible to accurately determine the age of a hawk solely based on the size of its wings. While wing size can be an indicator of a bird's age, it is not a reliable or definitive method of determining age.

Hawks, like many other bird species, grow their wings proportionately as they age. However, other factors such as nutrition, environment, and genetics can affect a bird's growth and development, making it difficult to determine age based on size alone.

Other methods of determining a bird's age include looking at plumage, eye color, and behavior. Juvenile hawks tend to have different plumage patterns and coloration than adult hawks, and their eyes may be a different color as well. Additionally, juveniles may exhibit different behaviors than adults, such as being more vocal or less experienced at hunting.
