Southeastern Raptor Center

Auburn University's Southeastern Raptor Center takes its educational program on the road to teach about birds of prey. You can see these birds, known as raptors, up close while learning about habitats, conservation and ecology. The center travels more than 15,000 miles each year, and makes presentation to more than 30,000 people throughout the Southeastern US.

The Rehabilitation Section accepts injured, ill or orphaned birds of prey from the southeastern United States. Since SRC is part of the AU Small Animal Clinic, we are able to take in birds 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, everyday of the year. Annually we take in 200-300 birds of prey including hawks, vultures, ospreys, kites, falcons, owls, eagles and northern harriers.

In conjunction with the AU Bookstore, the Southeastern Raptor Center is launching a new catalog of Raptor Center Merchandise. This new line of products will emphasize the education and conservation mission of the Center. Proceed from the sales will go toward the rehabilitation and education endeavors of the Center.

The catalogue currently includes an owl Pellet dissection kit, the first in a series of coffee mugs and the official raptor center T-shirts. To order go to the AU Bookstore Online Catalogue.
