Rehabilitating Raptors

The California Raptor Center (CRC) is dedicated to the rehabilitation of injured and orphaned raptors. The Center receives about 200 injured or ill raptors each year and is able to release about 60% of these birds.

Raptors are brought to the CRC or to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (VMTH) by the public.

Our goal is to provide the best medical and husbandry care within our resources. Medical critical care takes place at the VMTH with continuing care and rehabilitation taking place at the CRC. Volunteers provide about 7,000 hours of work per year. Many of the raptors treated are admitted due to adverse contact with human activity.
