Raptors

All of the magnificent raptors used in our programs have come through the River Raisin Raptor Center. Suffering permanent injuries and unable to survive in the wild, these non-releasable wild birds have been trained to help their wild relatives by educating people about the issues facing raptors today.

Raptor Volunteers will be on site every Saturday from 5-7 pm for public feeding and to answer any of your questions. Now is your chance to see the birds amazing adaptations in action while feeding. Come on by and see the feet and beak work together to help birds like the red tail hawk eat a rat, or the peregrine falcon eat a quail. This is not an official program,, but a drop in event. So drop in and get all your questions answered. Please be aware that birds may not be coming out of their enclosures. This is dependent on volunteer skills.
