Dedicated to Rescuing, Rehabilitating, and Releasing Wild Raptors

We are a nonprofit raptor rehabilitation hospital dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and protecting birds of prey. Our fully equipped hospital and on-site veterinarians allow us to provide advanced medical care to injured and orphaned raptors. Dedicated hospital volunteers assist with daily care, while trained field-rescue volunteers respond to injured birds throughout Northwest Wisconsin.

Each year, we care for raptors impacted by vehicle collisions, poisoning, habitat loss, and other human-related causes, as well as orphaned nestlings and fledglings that may not survive without intervention. Every bird receives individualized care—from emergency treatment through rehabilitation and conditioning—with a focus on preserving the natural behaviors and survival skills needed for a successful return to the wild.

We are incredibly thankful for the generosity of our donors, whose support makes our work possible. Donations directly fund medical treatment, food, safe housing, and the operation of our raptor hospital. Every contribution plays an important role in helping injured and orphaned birds recover.

In addition to hands-on rehabilitation, education is central to our mission. By sharing knowledge about raptors, their ecosystems, and the challenges they face, we aim to inspire respect, awareness, and stewardship within our community.
