The Raptor Center’s medical services treat approximately 700 raptors each year, provides training in avian medicine and surgery for veterinarians from around the world, and identifies emerging issues related to raptor health and populations. For the calendar year 2012, we received 786 wild birds, along with 20 raptors used in education programs or in the sport of falconry. This is the highest number since 2005, and 87 more patients than 2011.

The Raptor Center has received 207 patients so far this year.  We currently have 81 patients.  Some are in individual patient cages while their injuries heal.  Others are in large flight rooms or outside in the rehabilitation courtyard for exercise before their release. The following table shows the patient census by species:
