Alaska Raptor Center

Meet Phoenix, our newest Bald Eagle patient. 🦅 She came to us from Hoonah after getting into a burn pile that resulted in the loss of her tail, the tips of her primary flight feathers, and burns on her legs and feet. #AnimalRescue #helpingothers #wholesome

Your support on Giving Tuesday helps provide medical care, food, rehabilitation, and a second chance for the birds who need us most. Every donation, membership, purchase, or share makes a difference for the birds under our care! #GivingTuesday #RaptorCenter #WildlifeConservation

🦅 After celebrating Thanksgiving, we can keep the spirit of gratitude going by giving back. This #GivingTuesday, you can help the Alaska Raptor Center continue our mission of rehabilitation, education, and research.

Every act of generosity counts. #GivingTuesday #SupportWildlife #GiveBack

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at the Alaska Raptor Center! 🦅🍁 We’re grateful for our incredible community of supporters, volunteers, and raptor fans. We want to wish you a day full of gratitude, and maybe a little feathered fun! #HappyThanksgiving #BaldEagle #GratefulForWildlife

This Varied Thrush came to us after a window collision and was found with a fractured coracoid—an important flight bone. After rest, bandages, food, and meds, he’s made a full recovery. Today, he’s headed back into the wild! 💛🐦 #WildlifeRehab #Thrush #WildlifeRescue #AnimalRescue

Very cool!

Did you know that eagles have a nictitating membrane, a transparent eyelid, that helps protect and moisten their eyes? Here you can see Sitka, one of our resident Bald Eagles, showing off her nictitating membrane. Nature is full of marvels! #BaldEagle #WildlifeWonders #EyeProtection

Meet our newest patient here at the Alaska Raptor Center, a Northern Pygmy Owl named King Owlbert by his rescuers. Owlbert arrived with a drooping wing, making flight difficult. We’ve given him a supportive wing wrap, plenty of tasty mice, and time to heal. #small #owls #adorable

Happy Halloween! 🎃 Did you know birds’ bones aren’t just hollow for a spooky effect? They’re lightweight, strong, and full of clever design. Hollow chambers, reinforced struts, and even connections to air sacs make flight easier and breathing super-efficient #HollowBones #HappyHalloween #Bones

Have you ever wonder where our salmon comes from? 🐟 Thanks to local seafood producers, and local fishermen and hunters, our birds get the high-quality fish they need to thrive. We’re so grateful for this community support! #Salmon #DailyCare #WildlifeConservation

Meet Jake, a Red-tailed Hawk who was raised by humans as a chick. Because of that, he imprinted on people and can’t live in the wild. His story is a reminder, if you find injured wildlife, contact a licensed rehabilitator. #WildlifeRehab

Great Gray Owls may look massive thanks to their height, broad wings, and thick plumage, but don’t be fooled, most of that size is feathers! Despite their impressive appearance, these owls are surprisingly light, weighing just 1.5–3.75 lbs, with a wingspan stretching up to 5 feet. #Tallest #Owls

Feathers, masks, and a night to remember! Masquerade of Wings lands Nov 15th and you don’t want to miss this one. Every ticket supports the Center’s work to rescue, rehabilitate, and educate.

The face of an eagle looks regal and, let’s be honest, kind of angry! Bald Eagles have a thick ridge, called the supraorbital ridge, over their eyes that helps them see during times of bright sunlight, and gives them an "angry" or "fierce" look! #DidYouKnow #supraorbitalridge #funfacts

On behalf of the Staff, Volunteers and Board of Directors of the Alaska Raptor Center, we want to wish you a Happy Alaska Day!

Alaska Day is the anniversary of the formal transfer of the Territory of Alaska from Russia to the United States, which occurred on Friday, October 18, 1867. #AlaskaDay

Spooky season is here! 🎃 While decorating this season, remember that those fake cobwebs might look fun, but they can trap birds, small mammals, and even insects. Keep wildlife safe by decorating outdoors with dried moss, leaves, hay, or straw. #Halloween #KeepWildlifeSafe #SpookySeason
