The California Raptor Center (CRC) is an educational and research facility dedicated to the rehabilitation of injured and orphaned birds of prey (raptors). The CRC is a unique facility that combines education, research, and conservation. This center provides care for about 200 raptors per year and 60% of the raptors are released back into the wild. The museum and a permanent collection of living, nonreleasable raptors are open and viewable to the public.
