Sardis Raptor Center

Sardis Temporarily Closed to the Public:
Due to recent federal legislation and poor planning by the USDA, we are forced to cease public engagement until the USDA is able to process a new licensing requirement for avian exhibition. Without any notice, programs with more than 8 birds are now required to apply for special licensing despite having been previously permitted by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The USDA's rollout and implementation of this was done hastily and without any proper planning. During this time, we are not permitted to provide onsite tours or resume our public outreach until the USDA has enough resources to process their immense backlog of applications. We will continue to provide the best level of care to our in-house patients. We thank you for your continued support and patience as we work through these troubling times and will let all of you know as soon as we are able to resume our usual operations

We are slowly getting back to normal function. We will be having a show tonight at Birch Bay State Park at 6PM. We are looking forward to seeing you there!

Happy to report that our phones are working again. Please check back for status as the situation around the Highly Pathogenic Influenza Virus changes.

We are experiencing technical difficulties with our hospital phone line. We are working hard to fix the issue and will let you know when we fix the phone line. In the mean time, if you encounter an injured raptor or need information please contact Wildlife Rescue at 360-966-8845. We are so grateful to the community for the support in this difficult time. The numbers of Avian Influenza are going down in Washington State, so we hope to be able open to the public and take in patients again in the near future. Please check back here often for updates.
