Nature Week at Navy Pier in Chicago

Each day for nine days, Jacques Nuzzo and Jane Seitz ferried our "Wildlife Ambassadors" from their downtown hotel to Navy Pier, to present birds of prey programs as part of "Nature Week" activities.

Spring Arrivals in our wildlife hospital

Click here for an album of baby owls, squirrels and others brought to the Illinois Raptor Center for care. It is always best for wild animals to be left in the wild. Bringing a wild animal to a rehabilitator should always be the last resort. See our "How to Help Without Hurting" brochure for more information.

Open House Acquaints Public With The IRC

A free-flying falconry demonstration by licensed falconer Jacques Nuzzo was one of the highlights of this open house photo album. Tours of the Sangamon Overlook trail and our facility were also included.

Fundraising Banquet Photo Album

Each year, the Illinois Raptor Center's fundraising banquet focuses on a unique feature of Illinois wildlife and natural history. Illinois' wild residents, from bald eagles to groundhogs, all have been guests at our banquets.
