No, you will not find any dinosaurs; the raptors here refer to the winged variety. The Raptor Center is a medical center dedicated to treating, rehabilitating and reintroducing injured birds of prey to the wild. Eagles, hawks, owls and other wild birds are nursed back to health at this world-renowned center that can treat up to 600 birds at a time. Volunteer members of the 'flight crew' help recuperating birds learn to fly again and survive in their natural habitat.Located on the St. Paul campus of the University of Minnesota, the Raptor Center is open to the public free of charge and allows visitors to get a close view of the birds and the medical treatment rendered. There are several resident birds, including a red tailed hawk, osprey, a peregrine falcon, a great horned owl and eagles, all available for viewing at all times. There is lots of free literature available and a very nice gift shop features books, pictures and videos of birds throughout the world. Review © 2009, Wcities |
