A day in the life of a raptor center | Oregon Field Guide

“Oregon Field Guide” visits the Cascades Raptor Center in Eugene, Oregon to meet their marvelous avian ambassadors, from Demitri the Eurasian eagle-owl to Lethe the turkey vulture, who likes to go for walks with his favorite trainer.

Then we head behind-the-aviaries to the wildlife hospital, where they work year round to rescue, rehabilitate, and release injured birds of prey.

This year has seen a huge number of orphaned barn owls, but fortunately they have a pair of barn owl foster parents!
