In the summer months, our wildlife hospital gets an influx of baby wildlife. They are all different, but have one thing in common...they eat a lot!

Enjoy this compilation of various nestlings, and give a try at guessing each species in the comments! Which baby bird is your favorite?

Breaking news! We reached our goal of $250,000 for our Nature for All campaign 🥳

Thank you to everyone who helped us reach this goal. This is a huge undertaking that wouldn’t have been possible without your support.

So what happens next?

With a few more weeks left on the campaign, we decided to add a stretch goal for an additional $50,000 to make our Education Pavilion more accessible as well!

If you’d like to contribute, visit our website at www.cascadesraptorcenter.org/access.

We will officially close to the public on September 6th and break ground on September 8th. Stay tuned for additional events and programs during our closure.

It’s time for a Skinners’ Butte Eagle update!

Patient 26-589 had his wing wrap removed a month ago. His fracture had healed great! He started physical therapy before being moved into our large flight arena, where he practiced his flight skills for a couple of weeks.

He was well-flighted and cleared for release this past weekend. We are very happy he made a full recovery! His family has dispersed, as expected at this point in the year. He is now old enough to find his own food, or follow other Bald Eagles to good foraging locations. Thanks to everyone that helped make his care possible!
