Save the date! Our 10th Annual TRT Celebration: FeatherFest will be June 1, 2025. Games, gifts, auctions, raffles, food, and FUN!

As we celebrate the official designation of the Bald Eagle as the national bird of the United States on December 24, 2024, we are excited to spotlight our two resident bald eagles, Uno and Colonel.

As the year winds down, we’ve got some incredible milestones to share. From surpassing our annual admit average to approaching a historic 150,000 avian patients, our progress is a testament to our dedication to bird care and conservation. Curious about the numbers and what’s next for us?

On a cold December day, a Hunterdon County resident found an unlikely visitor in their yard: this Sharp-shinned Hawk (pictured)!

Find out how this avian patient is doing!

The Brant goose, with its compact size and striking black-and-white plumage, is a remarkable bird. Adapted to drink saltwater, these geese embark on long migratory journeys from their Arctic breeding grounds to coastal winter habitats. Look for them in estuaries, mudflats, and saltmarshes, where they thrive throughout the winter months.

Each year, The Raptor Trust’s Len & Diane Soucy Memorial Fund presents an Annual Lecture. We are thrilled to announce this year’s speaker, an award winning, record setting ornithologist who has published six books, including three for National Geographic: Noah Strycker

As we close another successful busy season at The Raptor Trust, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Summer Scholars Class of 2024.

This month's volunteer spotlight goes out to none other than Caroline Fernandes!

Learn how we use enrichment to improve our animals’ lives.

The work done here at The Raptor Trust would be impossible without our volunteers. From reception to cage cleaning, volunteers help with everything. Thank you, all!

This month, we are delighted to feature Berry Brixie in our Volunteer Spotlight. Berry is a passionate animal lover who joined The Raptor Trust after moving to New Jersey a few years ago.

This month, we shine the volunteer spotlight on Kathy Shaw, a dedicated high school English teacher whose heart beats for wildlife.

Our featured volunteer this month is Peggy Lefkin! Peggy has always been interested in birds, and she found The Raptor Trust while trying to get connected with local birding groups on social media.

This month's Volunteer Spotlight features the fabulous Gaby Schmitt, who first learned about The Raptor Trust when she responded to an email from the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ seeking volunteer transporters.
