The Delaware Valley Raptor Center, located in Milford, PA, is a private, not-for-profit, tax-exempt state and federally licensed rehabilitation organization dedicated to the rehabilitation and conservation of birds of prey (hawks, eagles, owls, falcons, and vultures). Our goals are to provide humane professional care for orphaned, ill, and injured raptors so they can ultimately be returned to the wild, healthly and no longer dependent upon humans for survival. We also strive to foster a greater appreciation and respect for all wildlife through public education programs and the publication of the DVRC Journal.

The DVRC Journal is distributed to all DVRC members twice annually. It is a 16 page magazine with articles on natural history, environmental issues, raptor rehabilitation techniques, raptor profiles, timely stories including birds of prey in history and art, and more.

(See Featured Articles for articles from past Journal issues.)

To have a close encounter with some of our Birds of Prey be sure to check out our Upcoming Public Raptor Programs. Or become a Member and take a tour of our Cummins Hill site.

DVRC receives no federal or state funding. Primary funding for the center comes from education programs and member donations. The center also has an adoption program and gift items for sale.
