At Montana Raptor Conservation Center (MRCC) we annually respond to requests to rescue 200+ distressed raptors over an 88,000 square mile area of the eastern half of Montana. Thankfully MRCC depends on over 10 different transport volunteers who retrieve injured raptors and drive them to meet us at different locations across our beautiful state to help offset our transport costs.
During the spring and summer months our work is kicked into high gear with 67% of our admissions happening between May and October.
We coordinate rescues with state and federal agencies such as County Sheriffs, US fish Wildlife and Parks wardens and biologists, and US Forest Service employees.
