The Juneau Raptor Center is a raptor rehabilitation center in Juneau in the U.S. state of Alaska. Founded in 1987 and located in the Tongass National Forest, its mission is the rehabilitation of sick and injured eagles, hawks, falcons, owls, ravens, hummingbirds and other avian wildlife brought in from Juneau and Southeast Alaska. The JRC is licensed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service to handle eagles and migratory birds, and is governed in part by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Actand the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.The Juneau Raptor Center is a private, 501, nonprofit organization which relies on donations for its financial survival and day-to-day operation, accepting donated funds and food. Contributions have included US$10,000 from the US Fish and Wildlife Service toward its building fund, and food for the recovering birds' dietary requirements.ServicesIn 2012, the center received and treated 145 birds, of which 40 were raptors and 105 non-raptors. Birds brought to the center are treated by an all volunteer staff, who keep them in their homes during the birds' treatment and rehabilitation. In addition, the center operates an education and viewing center at the top of the Mount Roberts Tramway. The small structure, independent of the main Tram building, includes a shelter for birds too injured to release back into the wild, and a viewing platform for visitors. Center volunteers on duty answer questions from the public and provide information on the bird's life cycle, habitat, and the treatment which the bird has received.
