The Illinois Raptor Center is a 15 acre facility along the Sangamon River in Decatur, Illinois.   The facility includes the main building that houses hospital and offices, an equipment shop, an educational pavillion, 1 large barn, 1 work and storage shed, 2 large wooden flights, 1 small wooden flight, 4 triple unit steel sided mews (12 cages), 7 double unit steel sided mews (14 cages), 4 single unit eagle steel sided mews,  1 triple unit steel sided songbird aviary, 3 wooded mews and 2 pigeon lofts.  As large as this looks and sounds, some years the number of animals admitted can outnumber the cages available.  If you would like to sponsor a mew, please call Jack Nuzzo at 217-963-6909 or email to jacknuzzo@gmail.com.   Each mew has signage with the name of the sponsor or the person to whom the sponsor wishes to honor or remember.
