bird treatment and learning center
Caring and advocating for alaska’s wild birds through rehabilitation, Education, and outreach to ensure they remain a vital part of Alaska’s iconic landscapes.
If you’ve found a bird that may be injured, ill, or orphaned, we can help!
Our Impact
Rescue and Rehabilitation
We’ve seen 95 patients in the clinic this year and the busy summer season is just getting started.
We’re currently caring for 11 orphaned ducklings, a nestling magpie who (as the story goes) was dropped by a raven, a fledgling raven, a fledgling nuthatch, and a Yellow-rumped Warbler who collided with a window.
Education and Outreach
Our Education team has already presented over 40 programs this year!
Here’s what a typical week looks like for them during the summer months:
Ambassador Culuk, along with volunteers Lisa and Terri, led our first public Ambassador Bird Program of the summer. We loved all the great questions the highly engaged audience had about Bald Eagles!
Two groups of tourists thoroughly enjoyed meeting multiple Ambassadors, including Shavila, Breland, and Ghost.
Cook Inlet Tribal Council’s summer camp kids were treated to indigenous stories narrated by our volunteer Lisa, and a special appearance by Ambassador Breland.
Our largest Avian Teen Crew yet—18 youth in grades 7–12—started their summer service on Monday! We think this is one of our most important and impactful programs. Find out why in our blog post: https://bit.ly/4fr9Icd
Plus, we chatted with visitors at the Alaska Public Lands Information Center and at Potter Marsh Discovery Day.
