When I thought I wasn't worth the effort. You gave me everything and asked for nothing. – Charles Martin, Thunder and Rain Raptor Rescue at Carolina Raptor Center’s Jim Arthur Raptor Medical Center Between 800-1,000 injured or orphaned raptors are brought to Carolina Raptor Center's Jim Arthur Raptor Medical Center each year. Credit for this large number belongs to people in our community who care enough to take action when they see an injured bird. These concerned citizens bring many birds directly to Carolina Raptor Center, while others arrive in the capable hands of Carolina Raptor Center's transport volunteers. Some of our patients come from other wildlife rehabilitators, who may need a second opinion in a particular case or may not have large enough cages to provide exercise. Join our Raptor Transport Team and help us get injured and orphaned raptors from around the region to Carolina Raptor Center for treatment. More info. Rescue Details Find an injured raptor?
