The Suzanne and Walter Scott Foundation Bald Eagle Flight Training Center provides a critical flight conditioning space for bald eagles, as well as offering outstanding opportunities for visitors to watch the birds regaining their flight abilities, without the birds ever seeing or hearing people.

Through a specially designed viewing corridor, visitors as well as rehabilitators are able to see eagles flying from perch to perch, exhibiting natural behaviors, and preening their feathers after feasting on a fish dinner.  Also, the Flight Training Center’s flight conditioning area, includes four convalescent mews, two vertical flight mews, and a clinical aerobic flight tube, where birds will have to demonstrate their stamina and maneuverability, before they can be release back to the wild.

Observing first hand bald eagles and other bird species regaining their flight skills, knowing they will soon be flying free, helps our visitors take home the hope that conservation of both species and their habitat is worthwhile work. And just by walking through our doors, our visitors help us with this important mission.

Thank you to everyone who graciously has donated to this effort, your support allows us to continue accomplishing our mission to promote and enhance wild populations of raptors and other avian species through rehabilitation, education, and research.
