Draper Museum Raptors
These birds have been injured and cannot be returned to the wild. The Draper Raptor program cares and trains the birds for educational programs. Daily programs are presented at the museum so check the times on their web page. I will donate 50% of the proceeds of any photo purchased back to the Draper Raptor program.
