Bald eagles grow rapidly during these critical first few months of life, eating almost twice as much as an adult and about $10.00 worth of food each day while in our care! These young bald eagles all require specialized and personalized care to return to the wild, where they can best learn how to be a thriving wild eagle. Luckily for these little ones, when they get themselves into trouble, our expert staff, dedicated volunteers, and passionate citizens are all working together to get them the life-saving care they need.
How else does your generosity directly support baby raptors?
The successful care and release of this owlet despite the odds stacked against it is more than just one feel-good moment. This owlet was able to give us excellent insight into effective fracture treatment techniques in nestling raptors, and its fight for a second chance at life will impact out future success at treating young raptors in need of our care.
Each spring, The Raptor Center (TRC) sees an influx of more than 250 young raptors in need. Our hospital is nearly 100% donor supported, meaning your help goes directly to the medications, equipment, food, and expertise required to save these raptors.
