To snowy owls, the frigid Minnesota winter with its snow-covered landscape must feel a bit like home. They’re native to the arctic tundra, with nesting grounds in northern Canada and Alaska. But from November to March, during the long dark arctic winter, some of them fly down to the most northern parts of the Lower 48. This season, TRC’s raptor hospital admitted several of these northern visitors: Patient 25-1214, admitted Nov. 12 after falling into wastewater at a treatment plant, got a bath, a

An injured bald eagle was rescued by police and taken for treatment at a raptor center in Minnesota. “With the help of a caring caller, the eagle was safely captured and is now in the hands of the Raptor Center, where it will receive the care it needs to fully recover,” police said. The Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota is a specialized hospital admitting around 1,000 birds of prey each year, with the goal of rehabilitating the animals and releasing them back into the wild. | 48 Hours

We are always comforted to know how many vigilant bird lovers keep an eye out for raptors in need. Recently, an injured Bald Eagle made the news after being found on a roadside in Woodbury, Minnesota. We are happy to share that our feathered friend has been released, and on the 4th of July, no less! The Woodbury police responded to calls from people who spotted the bird on May 18. The eagle had been hit by a car and was standing and moving around but seemed unable to fly. Officer Andrew Mattson

It was TRC’s honor to release this uncommon patient, a Great Gray owl. After 10 weeks of treatment, recuperation, and reconditioning in our raptor hospital, this majestic owl was released back to its home in Northern MN. This Great Gray owl came from International Falls after being caught in a barbed wire fence. Several dedicated transport volunteers worked together to relay this owl hundreds of miles. Thankfully, the owl was able to make a stop with our partners at Wildwoods Wildlife Rehabilita

We recently admitted a very special patient into TRC’s hospital; only the 4th of its species in our 50 year history. This hatch-year raptor is the elusive American barn owl, a species of owl not commonly found in Minnesota. It is a rare treat to receive a call to help save one in need. The young barn owl was patient 964 on our road to admitting the 1,000th patient of 2024; we are on track to possibly have the busiest year in our 50-year history. This owl came to our hospital after we received a

What’s an important part of a bald eagle’s diet? Fish! That’s one reason they’re so comfortable around water. They’re even capable of swimming short distances if they catch a fish too large to take flight. Eagles also use water to clean their feathers and keep themselves hydrated by drinking it. After having their illnesses and injuries treated at TRC’s raptor hospital, our patients spend time in rehabilitation preparing for their eventual release. Our expert rehabilitation staff ensures that ea

We don’t know about you, but we are thankful for this cold weather. Last week, after cold temperatures allowed for ice to re-accumulate on our rivers and lakes, wild bald eagles congregate around areas of remaining open water, allowing us to release two juvenile bald eagles who have been in our care since July. In Minnesota, bald eagles generally hatch from their eggs in April, and fledge, meaning they start to fly and leave the nest, around early July. Juvenile bald eagles spend 8 weeks with th

Will it be SITKA, after the Sitka Spruce tree Northern hawk owls can be seen perched atop? How about FROST, to represent the chilly forests the owl lives in? Maybe you fancy SURNIA, from her species' scientific name of Sernia Ulula? Perhaps AURORA, after the Northern lights? Or maybe ZIM, to re
