Abstract:

Raptors are birds of prey, including eagles, owls, and hawks. These predators sit at the top of the ornithological food chain, and their health is important to the chain's overall health. Each year thousands of these injured birds are rehabilitated and released through raptor centers across the country. The Carolina Raptor Center, one of the nation's finest facilities, is located on the Latta Plantation Nature Center near Charlotte.
