Juneau Raptor Center, Raptor rehabilitation center in Juneau, Alaska
The Juneau Raptor Center is a rehabilitation facility for injured raptors including eagles, hawks, and owls in Juneau, Alaska. It provides specialized medical care and recovery spaces where these birds heal.
The facility opened in 1987 in a shopping center before expanding its buildings to handle more injured birds arriving for treatment. This growth reflected the rising need for this kind of care in the region.
Visitors get a direct view of how raptors live and recover here, learning about their role in the local ecosystem through hands-on experience with the birds.
The center is located near Tongass National Forest and receives injured birds from across Southeast Alaska. Visitors should prepare for variable weather and allow plenty of time to see the facilities and animals.
Many recovering birds stay in the homes of volunteers during their rehabilitation period as part of their healing process. This approach helps prepare the animals for life in the wild before release.
