Each year, the Alaska Raptor Center, located in Sitka Alaska, provides medical treatment to 100 200 injured bald eagles and other birds. Our goal is to release our patients back into the wild; some, however, are injured so severely they could not survive in the wild even after rehabilitation. These birds may join our RaptorsinResidence, providing excitement and education for more than 80,000 annual visitors and for the 15,000 schoolchildren we reach through the Adoptaraptor program and classroom presentations around the country.
