We are a nonprofit raptor rehabilitation hospital

dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and protecting birds of prey. Our fully equipped hospital, staffed by an on-site veterinarian, allows us to provide advanced medical care to injured and orphaned raptors, with support from dedicated hospital volunteers who assist with daily care and trained field-rescue volunteers who respond to injured birds throughout Northwest Wisconsin. Each year, we care for birds of prey impacted by habitat loss, vehicle collisions, poisoning, and other human-related causes, including 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 release.

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.
