Auburn Raptor Center 50th anniversary
2022 marks the 50th anniversary of Auburn University’s Raptor Center and there is much to celebrate.
With a bold vision for the future focused on research collaborations, expanded outreach opportunities and plans to build a new home for its resident raptors, the center is poised to boost tourism and further elevate the Auburn brand, while bolstering its mission committed to raptor rehabilitation, education and conservation.
Five decades of steady growth, the rehabilitation and release of thousands of injured raptors, and a vibrant educational program promoting raptors to countless participants have made Auburn’s raptor center one of the most visible areas of both campus and its home unit, the Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine.
Beyond the critical work performed within the center’s walls, pregame stadium flights of the center’s resident eagles have raised awareness for raptors while building one of the most recognizable traditions in all of college sports.
And all of this is made possible through the efforts of a dedicated team, coupled with the support of generous donors.
As we embark on the journey that is our next 50 years, we will continue to grow our reputation as a national leader in raptor medicine and research, and as a One Health collaborator. We are poised to make the center one of the preeminent academic raptor centers in the nation and plans are underway to house it in an expanded world-class facility. This will allow us to better achieve our goals, increase our capacity and improve our standard of care, while offering visitors an outstanding experience that is uniquely Auburn.

    I remember shining a spotlight in my Grandma’s barn ’ big old barn ‘ and seeing one of these looking back at me perched way up in the peak, very large one, I was probably 8 or 9 as a kid exploring and I remember it scared the heck out of me, those eyes glowing, I’ll never forget that, oh, owls are beautiful, magical creatures, great video ❤️

    You said their name comes from a loud noise they make. Yet, another video from a different owl expert I watched said this was a misnomer and they don't make this noise.

    @5:47, what is that chirping sound she's making? A few summers ago, I ran into a Great Horned owl a lot, and it would make a more aggressive version of that sound if I passed under a streetlight it was perched on. (It would also violently kick off the top of it, and the whole thing would shake as it flew off) This one, btw- th-cam.com/video/7DUSXZP376A/w-d-xo.html

    Several folks in the comments talking about rescuing dazed little screech owls, and how calm and sweet they were on the way to the Dr. We rescued a very angry little fellow that snapped at us, and dug his talons in my husband’s belly roll! Thought we’d never get him loose!! Oh but what a little precious guy - the rehabber told us after a few days he was released 💕🤩

    I live in Hoover, AL near Birmingham and we have woods in the backyard and at the side of our house. I’ve seen owls, hawks and deer in our woods. I also saw some other bird out back that was big and had a huge wingspan. I couldn’t tell what kind of bird it was though. Saw it only once, but that was enough for me to remember it always.

    I live in the southern most part of Illinois. These owls are amazing and use to be everywhere in my neighborhood (had to guard my puppies years back). I met a man that had one. Not as a pet. The owl was more of a tamed visitor. One evening at sunset, he put on a leather gauntlet, extended his arm and this amazingly awesome great horned owl landed on his arm. The thing just wanted to chill with us for like 10 mins and then flew off. It was both beautiful and freaking scary at the same time. I asked him if it was his pet, he said owls are not pets. He said he was lucky to befriend one when it was young and it would visit him every day after work. I love that idea. That is how it should be. I haven't kept up with the guy so I don't know if the owl is long deceased, but I would love to have a visitor like that in my life. Not a pet, just a friend that hangs out from time to time.

    • @liamodell7191

      By the way... Since our owl population has went down, we've had an over abundance of skunks. We need these owls back.

    Thank you for this. With mocking birds and blue jays around it's been difficult for me to identify these hawks. We also have other hawks in the neighborhood but they're larger. The other day, however, I walked out of the side door on my garage near my garden to find a hawk sitting just inches away from me on the fence there. I was really surprised that he didn't seem to be afraid of me at all. He was either after the many squirrels around or the spiny lizards that live in my garden. I took some photos of him and I believe he was a red shoulder hawk.

    They look like stuffed animals due to their size and their large eyes with round pupils. That’s what makes them so appealing and cute.

    Red-shouldered hawk are actually quite common in California. I wouldn't say that their population is small at all. There actually may be more in California than in Alabama. War Eagle!
