News and Announcements

12/02/2025 is GIVING TUESDAY! 

We know many different organizations will be asking for donations today, but we hope you might consider our volunteer run non-profit as we can’t do what we do without your help.
If you are able to donate please know you would be funding valuable scientific research, educational programs, and the hiring of a research technician to learn valuable raptor research skills and perform our popular educational outreach programs. We rely on the generosity of the public to help offset the costs that otherwise fall to our volunteer banders. Any amount helps and donations are accepted anytime here on our website:

DONATE

Both Paypal and Venmo accepted!
 
Make sure to check out the Instagram post below to read the story of how one of our banders caught an adult Bald Eagle for the 2nd time in project history!
