We depend soley on our membership and Volunteers to run the organization. Our facility in Cincinnati, Ohio, provided for by the Hamilton County Park District, houses injured birds of prey. Volunteers provide care and special feeding, as well as transportation to our veterinarians until they can be released back to the wild. Volunteer Melinda helping with physical therapy on a Red-Tailed Hawk. Local veterinarians Dr. Joe Grossi, Dr. Bob Dahlhausen, Dr. Peter Hill, Dr. Paul Levitasand Dr. Vanessa Kuonen provide their time and expertise to aid in the rehabilitation of these injured birds. A volunteer dispatcher, Peggie from Wild About Birds in Milford, answers calls and routes them to volunteers for bird pickup and care. Raptor, Inc. also assists local wildlife agencies by providing information about birds of prey through studies and bird banding handled by volunteers. This information can assist in providing insights to raptor nesting behavior, to our rehabilitation efforts and to help with the collection of data used to study the effects of habitat loss. RAPTOR, INC. has been recognized for efforts in conservation and has received several awards in recent years.  Since 1994, RAPTOR, INC. has been banding the rehabilitated birds released back into the wild. Over a long period of time this will help us determine how successful our rehabilitation efforts are. As a way to enable members to get involved in our efforts, we create the "Sponser-A-Banded-Raptor" program. This is your chance to play an vital part in the preservation of these majestic birds. Those sponsoring a bird will receive a fact sheet on the species they sponsor, and a sponsor certificate detailing your raptor's band number, release date, and vital statistics. If the bird you sponsor is recovered, you will be notified of the date and location of recovery. All proceeds benefit RAPTOR, Inc. and your contribution is tax deductible. To discuss other giving opportunities, call 513-825-3325 or e-mail raptor@raptorinc.org.
