Another stop while I was in Sitka, Alaska was the Alaska Raptor Center.
This place was fascinating. They take in injured birds of all types. The rehabilitate them if possible and release them. If their injuries are too severe then they provide them as natural a home as possible.
It was fascinating to see these majestic birds up close. I guess I just never realized how huge they are!
There were a lot of the birds in treatment while we were there and we got to see them fed and treated.
We also learned a lot about owls and other types of Raptors.
The tiny little 'Pygmy Owl' was a joy to see and learn about. SOOO tiny, especially compared to the size of the Eagles.
We tried to take a walk down their trail but it was closed due to 'recent bear activity' ! whooooo
