What We Do
A Second Chance At Freedom

Welcome to the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program!

RMRP rescues, rehabilitates and releases injured birds of prey, including Eagles, Owls, Hawks and Falcons; and through its comprehensive Environmental Education program, teaches the importance of preserving wildlife and wild places for future generations.

The Raptor Program works closely with the veterinarians at Colorado State University’s Veterinary Medical Center, and has consulted with them on nearly 5,000 raptor cases since the program started as a student club in 1979.

RMRP averages about one admission and several injured raptor calls each day, and more than 70% of treatable raptors are released for A Second Chance At Freedom. Several days each week we provide education programs somewhere in the region.

History

The Rocky Mountain Raptor Program started in 1979 as a student club rehabilitating a few injured raptors each year.

From the first hawk cared for that year, more than 3,500 raptors have followed. The annual caseload grew year after year, and RMRP’s Executive Director Judy Scherpelz was hired in 1987.
