Sitka
Sitka’s Bald Eagle Center operates with bird care professionals assisted by volunteers to rescue birds, provide them with rehabilitative care and hopefully release them back into the wild. After your introduction to the center, a presentation with one of the Center’s educational birds will take place. Time will be available to view the flight center, clinic window, outside deck habitat areas and gift shop.
