We are deeply saddened to share the news that our beloved Fuzzy the Golden Eagle passed away on Tuesday morning. Based on her history and circumstances, we suspect she died from age-related natural causes. Fuzzy was at least 31 years old at the time of her death.
The California Raptor Center's Barn Owl education ambassador Ember has a starring role in KQED's "Deep Look" video on Barn Owl digestion. Check out this great educational video and keep an eye out for beautiful Ember - she's the one in the opening clip eating a mouse and at 1:37, again eating a mouse.
Members of the community are invited to visit the California Raptor Center Spring Open House for a free, fun educational experience. Educational raptors will be on “the fist" -- ask our handlers a question! Lectures on raptor rehabilitation, identification, conservation and adaptations are offered during the day. Visitors can take a self-guided tour of our permanent resident birds and visit the Museum for a hands-on experience. There is no charge for this event and parking is free.
