OUR MISSION
Owl Ridge Raptor Center is a nonprofit dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing injured and orphaned birds of prey, including owls, hawks, falcons, vultures, and eagles.
We partner with local veterinarians, the UT Veterinary Hospital, TWRA, USFWS, and a network of rehabbers to give every bird the best chance at recovery and return to the wild.
Every donation directly supports the housing, feeding, and medical care of these remarkable animals.
