Each year, the Alaska Raptor Center provides medical treatment to 100-200 injured bald eagles and other birds. Some birds may be rehabilitated and released back into the wild.
Others are injured so severely they could not survive in the wild even after rehabilitation. These birds may become Raptors-in-Residence, providing excitement and education for more than 36,000 annual visitors and for the 15,000 schoolchildren we reach through the Adopt-A-Raptor program and classroom presentations around the country.
The Alaska Raptor Center's 17-acre campus borders the Tongass National Forest, a temperate coastal rainforest, and the Indian River in Sitka, Alaska, and features award-winning natural habitats for our 25 Raptors-in-Residence.
